Headquarters: Salt Lake City
Bought By: Phagelux
Headquarters: Shanghai, China
The world of phage-based antibacterial products is a complex one, but thankfully OmniLytics know what they’re up against. The company was purchased by Phagelux in 2015. The company first caught the eye of the Shanghai-based powerhouse with its agricultural pathogens.
It was a partnership of two halves, with Phagelux opening up the Asian market to OmniLytics while OmniLytics could offer a marketing platform for Phagelux’s products in the United States. It’s not clear how much the purchase was, but given the nature of the business it would’ve likely cost Phagelux a impressively high amount.
