Biome Makers, a global leader in soil microbiology, announced today their expansion into new 4,200 square feet headquarters located at 202 Cousteau Place, Davis, CA. Biome Makers has already started constructing and redesigning the space to begin operations in Jan 2023.


Biome Makers was operating out of the Bayer CS's CoLaborator, a co-working space in West Sacramento, and needed to increase their space due to the company's exponential growth. "Our new larger facility was the necessary next step as we needed to expand our laboratory to reduce turnaround time for results, serve new clients and adapt to the growing global demand of BeCrop® technology," states Adrian Ferrero, Co-founder, and CEO at Biome Makers.

The company decided to stay in California, the World's AgTech Hub, to support its many clients in the area. "Davis is a global powerhouse for farming and agriculture research. Our headquarters in Davis allows us to engage with the strong agricultural community. This is our way to give back to the region that has supported us since our inception," adds Adrian Ferrero.

Biome Makers was founded in San Francisco, CA, in 2015 by Alberto Acedo and Adrian Ferrero, who dreamed of taking action to recover soil health through science and technology. Today, their proprietary technology, BeCrop®, is utilized in 40+ countries, impacting over 417,000 hectares worldwide and empowering over 8,000 farmers to adopt regenerative practices and recover soil health.

"We are very excited about the future of Biome Makers. This new location is a testament to our hard work and dedication to soil restoration and sustainable agriculture. The new Davis HQ will enable us to scale our operations and support the global demand for BeCrop® technology, the industry standard for soil health," states Ferrero.

The ERT150 - Dorner's Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors

The next evolution in Dorner's Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly application. The ERT platform is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner's ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards. As implied by its name, the ERT150 (Edge Roller Technology) uses rollers to move pallets through the conveyor smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor's open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming. The ERT150 is suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor. It is capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and is ideal for automation assembly applications within industries including medical devices, electronics, consumer goods among others.
