Founded in 2015 by Alexander Lorestani (CEO) and Nick Ouzounov (CTO), and based in San Francisco, US, Geltor, Inc. operates as a biodesign company that manufactures and produces designer proteins for uses in beauty, nutrition, and food and beverage industries. In February 2022, Agronomics Limited acquired 2.05% stake in Geltor, Inc. for USD 9.49 million. The firm develops protein and polypeptide solutions using sustainable sources of protein to offer skincare, haircare, homecare, medical devices, nutrition, animal care and other related products. The firm’s commercialized products include Collume®, HumaColl21, PrimaColl™ and Elastapure that offer a range of vegan collagen, gelatin and biodesigned protein for various aesthetic applications.
