SUSTAINABILITY AND ANNUAL OVERVIEW
Embarking on a new chapter for Probi
As we look ahead to 2025, I feel optimistic and determined. The successes of 2024 have set a strong foundation for continued growth and innovation. Through hard work and dedication, we’ve achieved a lot and overcome challenges, bringing us closer together as an organization. Everyone’s contribution has been key to our success. We are entering a new era as a fully owned subsidiary of Symrise following the successful public bid by our main shareholder. However, our commitment to our purpose remains stronger than ever – empowering people to live better lives for longer by taking control of their microbiome.
2024 was an important year for us when we thoroughly evaluated how we want to define ourselves and our offerings. A lot has happened since the company was founded in 1991. Today, Probi is more than probiotics, and we have expanded our research and offerings into adjacent areas. Probi is still a company that leads through research and science, and today we work across the entire biotics field.
