NEMIS Technologies expands to U.S. with new subsidiary, launches rapid pathogen detection tools

USA – NEMIS Technologies has announced the official launch of its United States subsidiary, NEMIS Technologies Inc., located at 611 Gateway Boulevard, Suite 120, South San Francisco, California. 

 

The new office marks a major expansion for the Swiss-based company, which develops microbiological detection tools for food safety and environmental monitoring.

 

According to Thomas Struckmeyer, CEO, NEMIS Technologies, the move to the U.S. aligns with the company’s strategy of being close to its customers and partners. 

 

The U.S. office will enable NEMIS to offer its on-site pathogen detection solutions directly to food manufacturers and strengthen collaborations across North America.

 

“Our team is excited to build new collaborations and partnerships in the United States, and we are looking forward to meeting soon in person,”  said Thomas. 

 

Simplifying pathogen detection across food systems

 

Founded with a mission to improve microbiological safety in food production, NEMIS focuses on developing simple tools that detect bacteria quickly and accurately on-site.

 

Its technologies integrate bacteriophages, which are viruses that target specific bacteria, with AquaSpark technology for precise detection of live cells.

 

The company’s One Health Approach addresses food safety across the supply chain from farm production to retail shelves while also promoting practices that protect the environment and public health.

 

New hygiene monitoring and biohazard disposal solutions introduced

 

Alongside its expansion news, NEMIS Technologies has launched three new products to support food safety operations. 

 

Its ATP GO and ATP GO Liquid tests provide rapid hygiene monitoring by measuring adenosine triphosphate (ATP), an indicator of contamination from microbes or food residues. 

 

ATP GO is designed for surface testing, while ATP GO Liquid is used for liquid samples such as process water, rinse water, condensation, cooling systems, and bottled water.

 

The company has also introduced NEMIS iNactivate, a device that safely neutralizes non-spore forming microorganisms enriched in its N-Light test tubes. 

 

Using a multi-sided heating system, iNactivate runs an automated 30-minute cycle at 85°C to eliminate bacteria before disposal, reducing the risks of handling live pathogens and ensuring compliance with biohazard regulations.

 

AI integration and sustainable practices

 

NEMIS Technologies integrates AI-powered systems into its detection tools to support quick decision-making and optimized production processes. 

 

According to the company, its technologies are designed to reduce waste, minimize chemical use, and lower carbon footprints by reducing the need for physical sample transport.

 

The company also runs NEMIS Academy, an independent training platform for food industry professionals. It offers webinars and workshops tailored to practical industry needs, focusing on knowledge sharing without product promotion.
