About SK8 Biotech Asia
Natural Hydrocolloids and Precision Bacteriophage Driven Solutions for Food Safety and Livestock Health
Founded in 2013, SK8 Biotech Asia supplies natural hydrocolloids to optimize food processing and is dedicated to advancing precision bacteriophage technology to control harmful pathogens such as Salmonella, Listeria, E. coli and Vibrio in livestock, aquaculture and food processing environments.
For over a decade, we have focused on developing highly concentrated, stable, and commercially viable bacteriophage solutions that perform in real-world agricultural and food production systems.
Headquartered in Ontario, Canada, SK8 Biotech Asia operates exclusively in Asia, Middle East and Africa, with offices and partners in Philippines, Indonesia and Egypt.
Our bacteriophages are produced and manufactured in-house in our fully inspected and government approved facility to ensure consistent quality and performance for our customers.
Our Mission:
Precision Pathogen Control Without Compromise
Modern food production faces increasing regulatory pressure, rising antimicrobial resistance, and growing demand for antibiotic-free livestock systems. Traditional broad-spectrum interventions often disrupt beneficial microbiota, require excessive water use, or lack long-term sustainability.
SK8 Biotech was established to provide a more natural and targeted, microbiome-friendly approach to pathogen control.
Proprietary High-Concentration Manufacturing
A key differentiator of SK8 Biotech is our proprietary bacteriophage production platform, located in Ontario, Canada.
High concentration levels are critical for effective pathogen reduction in high-challenge environments, particularly when targeting Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli in livestock and processing systems.
We manufacture our bacteriophages in-house using our own bioreactors and facilities, allowing us to achieve:
-
Our phage solutions are extremely concentrated, allowing processors and farmeres to dilute our products between 1:1000 to 1:10,000.
-
Our proprietary process allows our bacteriphages concentrations to remain stable for up to 1 year when stored under refrigeration
-
SK8 can customize the compostion of bacteriophages to ensure it specifically targets pathogens in your unique facility.
Vertically Integrated Scientific Expertise
At SK8 Biotech, our strength lies in full vertical integration — from bacteriophage discovery and strain characterization to in-house production, validation testing, and technical field support.
Because we control every stage of development within our own facilities, we maintain a deep, end-to-end understanding of how our phages behave — not only in laboratory conditions, but in real-world livestock and food processing environments.
Our in-house team of microbiologists, food safety specialists, and applied research scientists works directly with partners to ensure solutions are not only effective — but precisely tailored to each operation through.
By combining research, production, testing, and technical support under one roof, SK8 Biotech delivers a level of expertise, responsiveness, and problem-solving capability that extends far beyond a traditional ingredient supplier.
