Vestaron, Capua Bioservices create manufacturing partnership

Vestaron Corporation, a developer of novel, naturally occurring peptides with anti-insect properties, has signed a multi-year manufacturing agreement with Capua Bioservices for production of its Spear family of products.

Spear products are developed from naturally occurring peptides with anti-insect properties, according to Vestaron. These bioinsecticides are non-toxic to humans, mammals, birds, fish, honeybees, and several other beneficial insects, and the absence of toxic residues give growers maximum flexibility in growing and harvesting their crops, according to the company. Spear products have the same effectiveness in controlling insects as synthetic insecticides, Vestaron said.

Capua BioServices is a global provider of services in the field of custom microbial process development and manufacturing. They offer fermentation based solutions for applications in pharma, food, feed and other bio-industrial markets. The Company is headquartered in Capua, Italy.
