Welcome to ERBER Group In 1983 when Erich Erber laid the foundation for ERBER Group, he adopted a new way to support animal nutrition that privileges natural and innovative solutions and benefits animals, producers and the environment. Feeding a global population expected to reach ten billion people by 2050 involves a set of issues relating to the efficient use of natural resources, respect for

the environment, quality, health, safety, nutrition, economic development, production and profit. Success will rely on navigating these factors using the most advanced tools and methods available. At ERBER Group we focus completely on making food and feed products more efficient, raising them to an even higher level of quality, and making them safer in a healthy and sustainable way. For decades we have

advanced our intensive internal research in the field of biotechnology, which is the basis of our success. This has enabled us to provide our customers with many innovative solutions across the entire feed and food supply chain.

The research campus in Tulln is the center of our scientific activities. Our scientists develop new processes there which go as far as the fundamentals of biochemistry. These processes serve as tools and the basis for innovations in food and feed safety.
Forward-thinking When BIOMIN was founded in 1983, Erich and Margarete Erber embraced a new way to support animal nutrition, one that privileges natural and innovative solutions and benefits animals, producers and the environment. The company’s name derives from BIOS, meaning “life,” and MIN, important nutrients including vitaMINs and MINerals.
Today, the same philosophy applies as the Group’s activities have extended across the entire feed and food value chain, spanning ingredient production, animal nutrition, animal protein production, meat and food processing, and retail and food service.
