Industries are reconsidering their material choices as sustainability becomes harder to ignore. The challenge has always been finding alternatives that actually perform under real conditions. AMSilk GmbH, led by CEO Ulrich Scherbel, has built its business around turning natural proteins into materials that work across different applications.
Munich-based Amsilk produces fibers that reproduce the resistant, light and versatile nature of spider silk. Comprised of 100% spider silk protein, the fibers are engineered via biotechnology.
