Merck, a leading science and technology company, has successfully collaborated with company builder mantro GmbH, Munich, Germany, to establish EdiMembre, Inc., Massachusetts, U.S.A., a Deep-Tech spin-out poised to revolutionize the alternative protein sector.

默克，一家领先的科技公司，已成功与位于德国慕尼黑的公司建设者mantro GmbH合作，成立了位于美国马萨诸塞州的EdiMembre公司，这是一家深科技分拆公司，旨在彻底改变替代蛋白领域。

“Cultivated meat, a core focus in the alternative protein market, offers a powerful solution for sustainability and global food security. To meet urgent market needs, the development of structured meat products that replicate the texture and complexity of conventional meat is essential. Leveraging its pioneering technology and patent portfolio, Merck enabled the creation of a dedicated spin-out to develop a market-ready product, unlocking access to this breakthrough and empowering clients and investors to shape the future of food together,” said Laura Matz, Group Science & Technology Officer at Merck, explaining the strategic importance of EdiMembre’s mission..

“培养肉作为替代蛋白市场的核心焦点，为可持续性和全球粮食安全提供了强有力的解决方案。为了满足紧迫的市场需求，开发能够复制传统肉类质地和复杂性的结构化肉类产品至关重要。默克利用其开创性技术和专利组合，促成了一家专注于开发市场就绪产品的独立分拆公司，解锁了这一突破性技术的访问权限，并赋能客户和投资者共同塑造食品的未来，”默克集团科学与技术官劳拉·马茨在解释 EdiMembre 使命的战略重要性时表示。

“The formation of EdiMembre represents a significant milestone in the alternative protein industry. By combining Merck’s cutting-edge technology with mantro’s company building expertise and strong investor backing, we have created a powerhouse capable of driving real change in sustainable food production.

“EdiMembre的成立代表着替代蛋白行业的一个重要里程碑。通过将默克的尖端技术与mantro的公司建设专长及强大的投资者支持相结合，我们打造了一个能够推动可持续食品生产真正变革的强大力量。”

I am thrilled to be part of this journey and confident in our ability to make a lasting impact,” said Manfred Tropper, CEO of mantro and new non-executive board member at EdiMembre..

“我很高兴能成为这段旅程的一部分，并对我们产生持久影响的能力充满信心，” mantro首席执行官兼EdiMembre新任非执行董事会成员曼弗雷德·特罗珀表示。

EdiMembre builds on the Deep-Tech foundation established by Merck, expanding the applications of the edible membrane technology platform developed over recent years. This innovative platform is central to creating complex tissue structures required for scalable production of structured cultured meat.

EdiMembre 在默克建立的深科技基础上进一步发展，拓展了近年来开发的可食膜技术平台的应用。这一创新平台是创建复杂组织结构的核心，可用于规模化生产结构化培养肉。

At the same time, the platform technology has also been used to explore high-protein, plant-based pasta applications. Supported by a robust patent portfolio, a talented team and strategic partnerships, EdiMembre is positioned to accelerate the commercialization of sustainable alternative protein solutions.

同时，该平台技术也被用于探索高蛋白、植物基意面的应用。凭借强大的专利组合、优秀的人才团队以及战略合作伙伴关系，EdiMembre已准备好加速可持续替代蛋白解决方案的商业化进程。

Beyond contributing intellectual property and expertise, Merck continues to support this emerging market by supplying the necessary cell culture media and co-creating new opportunities in structured meat production..

除了贡献知识产权和专业知识外，默克继续通过提供必要的细胞培养基和支持在结构化肉类生产中共同创造新机会来支持这一新兴市场。

Headquartered in Massachusetts, EdiMembre will be led by a dedicated team, blending entrepreneurial spirit with their globally recognized expertise in alternative proteins. The founding team includes Chief Executive Officer Timothy Ryan Olsen, and Chief Technology Officer Ryan Sylvia, who previously led the Cultured Meat and Scaffold Technology programs at Merck, respectively..

总部位于马萨诸塞州的EdiMembre将由一支专业团队领导，该团队融合了创业精神和其在全球替代蛋白领域的公认专业知识。创始团队包括首席执行官蒂莫西·瑞安·奥尔森（Timothy Ryan Olsen）和首席技术官瑞安·西尔维亚（Ryan Sylvia），他们此前分别领导了默克的培养肉和支架技术项目。

This leadership transition underscores the strong foundation of knowledge and experience that EdiMembre is built upon, while also demonstrating the commitment of Merck to fostering innovation beyond its corporate boundaries.

这一领导层的过渡突显了EdiMembre所建立的强大知识和经验基础，同时也表明了默克致力于在其企业边界之外推动创新的承诺。
