Company
Kuehnle AgroSystems, Inc. (KAS) with offices and production in Honolulu, is a growing life science "cleantech" company with a world-class team of 18 professionals, a third of whom are PhDs. KAS is not simply a stock center; the company's core competency involves selecting, characterizing, and optimizing algae cultivars for specific production environments and end uses. We provide our clients with high-value algal cultivars as the foundation to develop competitive products. One of KAS’s unique competitive advantages is our natural and proprietary synthetic genetic technologies. The company has 18 patents and patents pending supporting our technology platform.
KAS supports a cross-disciplinary approach to our algae research and development, employing phycology, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, plant breeding and botany. Using the most appropriate, productive algae cultivars and quality-controlled seedstock is crucial to the success of almost all algae-based product business models. In working with KAS, customers achieve lower costs and faster time-to-market by reducing the product development period. Specifically, given KAS’s cross-disciplinary approach and expanding library of proprietary algae cultivars and genetic tools, customers can leapfrog development time and costs by letting KAS breed high performance algae for particular growing environments and applications.
