PhytoTechnology Laboratories is a privay held small business, which manufactures and distributes products to the plant tissue culture, plant biotechnology, and plant science markets. Dr. Kenneth C. Torres, Ph.D., and his wife, Janet, formed the company in 1997; their goal was to propel the company into becoming a world-class supplier of media, biochemicals and supplies to the plant science market.
PhytoTechnology Laboratories is located in Lenexa, Kansas, a suburb of the Kansas City Metro area. This location provides direct access to most major markets around the world. PhytoTechnology Laboratories is near the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, the University of Missouri, and a number of smaller liberal arts and sciences colleges and universities allowing them to draw upon the fine students and graduates of these institutions. Manufacturing, product development, administration and distribution of products are in-house at the PhytoTechnology Laboratories’ new 18,000 square foot facility.
In the last nine years, PhytoTechnology Laboratories has become a major supplier of products for the plant science market. Their products are used to mass propagate plants on sterile culture media in laboratory settings. They also supply products for the genetic improvement of plants through gene transformation research. Their customer base ranges from small greenhouses to commercial micropropagation labs that mass-produce 50-60 million plants a year. They also supply products to many agri-biotech research labs, bio-pharma production labs, land grant universities and government agencies.
International sales currently make up over 20% of their total revenue. PhytoTechnology Laboratories has over 25 distributors around the world that help promote and distribute their product line world-wide. Current projections are that International sales will make up 40% of their total revenue by the year 2008.
PhytoTechnology Laboratories’ product line, which now encompasses over 450 products, is ever-expanding. They also custom-manufacture a number of media for clients to aid in their production and research. They are continuing to expand their research and product development efforts with new emphasis on molecular biology, plant bioreactors, and sterile liquid products.
The future looks bright for PhytoTechnology Laboratories. They have shown continuous growth since opening their doors, and they continue to strive to produce the highest quality products at a competitive price, while offering the best customer service in the industry. Media manufactured by PhytoTechnology Laboratories is now being used to grow genetically modified plant cells that produce human therapeutic protein drugs; these drugs are currently in Phase I clinical trials. This is just the beginning of many good things to come as they endeavor to meet their goal: Helping to build a better tomorrow through plant science.
