"When I came to Ed Sybert [industry director of the BSF] 10 or 12 years ago, Martek had developed this fermentable algae. We were getting into the next stage where we said 'will this stuff actually scale-up?' If it doesn’t scale up, we thought, if the economics aren't good, if it doesn't make pure products, if the organism doesn't grow well—we’re sunk. We didn't have the equipment; we didn't have the people. Ed said let's see if we can make this work. And it did! Over 6 million babies have now had this material. Over 70 percent of the infant formula in the United States has it. It all started here. It all came from this facility."
