Chief Investment Officer Lode Devlaminck of Hermes Global Equities Advisors is seeing long-term growth within Novozymes A/S (CPH:NZYM-B), the leading manufacturer of enzymes, due to the company’s exposure to the detergent, bioethanol, bioplastics and bio-agriculture industries.
“Their core business is providing enzymes to the household and personal care industry, primarily detergents. That market is expanding and growing as the world moves more toward high-efficiency laundry detergents, as these new and better detergents have much more enzymes in them,” Devlaminck said.

Additionally, Novozymes A/S has a big foray into bioethanol, where enzymes are crucial in the transformation process, Devlaminck says. He also points to other growth avenues that he is watching.
“You also have a whole trend in bioplastics, which is another avenue of growth for them. Last but not least, they created a joint venture with Monsanto (MON) that gives them a big platform to leverage their expertise in bio-agriculture,” Devlaminck said.
