DKSH Partners with Trautec to Grow SRHC Animal-Free Human Collagen Technology in Canada and the USA

Zurich, Switzerland, June 12, 2024 – DKSH’s Business Unit Performance Materials, a leading distributor of specialty chemicals and ingredients, will provide business development, marketing, sales, logistics, and distribution services for Trautec’s trademarked SRHC ingredients, including ReCol3, ReCol17 (a finalist of the 2024 CEW Beauty Awards,) MiniReCol3, and MiniReCol17.  These ingredients offer remarkable stability and efficacy in addressing various skincare solutions, such as anti-aging, wrinkle reduction, UV damage mitigation, anti-inflammation, as well as promoting hair density and scalp repair.

Trautec is a pioneer in the development of medicine-oriented recombinant human collagen (SRHC). SRHC offers an animal-free recombinant collagen derived from eukaryotic yeast using advanced bio-engineering techniques. SRHC achieves 100% homology and biocompatibility through a multi-step purification process, ensuring optimal active sites and high stability that emulate human collagen. This innovative approach eliminates potential risks and biosafety concerns associated with collagens sourced from animals.

DKSH has been entrusted to grow Trautec’s business in Canada and the USA thanks to its extensive distribution network, knowledgeable commercial and technical teams, strong capabilities in logistics, and its valued services, including innovation and formulation and market research and analysis.

Song Qian, CEO and Founder, Trautec, commented: “Our goal is to become the foremost biotech platform globally, specializing in the intelligent and sustainable creation of recombinant collagen, with a steadfast focus on the safety and effectiveness of its products. The SRHC is increasingly popular in the cosmetic and regenerative medicine sectors, offering vast opportunities for innovative solutions across a wide range of consumer products. We are excited to have DKSH on board for this journey, as their considerable experience, knowledge, and global network in the beauty and personal care market will help us enter an exhilarating growth phase.”
