Auckland BioSciences were crowned winners of the ‘Best Emerging Business’ Awards at the NZTE International Business Awards 2018. Managing Director, Dr John Chang said “There’s been an extraordinary amount of work from our small team since we founded the business just four years ago to get us to where we are today, and these achievements recognise that hard work”.

Auckland BioSciences has gained a solid foothold on the international stage through the consistently high quality of its products, its customer-centric approach to business, and its strong partnerships in both New Zealand and abroad. The pursuit of excellence in all aspects has been a key part of the company’s culture and has helped it to stand out on the international stage. Auckland BioSciences will continue to develop its capabilities in life sciences, leveraging New Zealand’s strong agricultural roots and investments in technologies to establish New Zealand as a prominent player in the industry.

Auckland BioSciences has grown 186% over the past three years, in a global serum market worth $1.2b every year. In four years, the start-up has gone from being an industry nobody to and industry leader with customers in 14 export markets.

Dr Chang puts much of the company’s success down to its highly scientific approach, its strong customer relationships, and New Zealand’s reputation as a producer of high-quality animal products. “Our team’s scientific understanding of our product is second-to-none. This has given us the confidence to implement significantly different strategies from what the established players are doing, which are now starting to pay off”.

“We’re a customer-focused company that believes in developing relationships face-to-face all around the world. We wear the soles of our boots down in an effort to meet our customers wherever they are. New Zealand’s focus on biosecurity and livestock health means our product is the safest in the world, which is highly attractive to our end users.”

Judge Sam Witters said: “This company is just exceptional in the way that they have taken a waste product and provided commercial acumen, deep deep knowledge of this industry and have produced a world-class product. There’s also a kind of freshness about them, a real joy in listening to them talk about the company and where they’ve got to. I think they’re really going to be a company to watch and a company that New Zealand will be proud of.”
