Buyer – Focus on Contract Manufacturing of Medical Devices (f/m/d)

We are SYNformulas – the company behind the Kijimea brand.

Since our foundation in 2011, we have been following a clear vision: We want to use the potential of microbiota (bacteria) in our intestine specifically for a longer and healthier life - for all people.

With the discovery and clinical research of the unique bacterial strain B. bifidum MIMBb75 in 2013, we were able to significantly improve the lives of millions of stimulus patients worldwide. The effectiveness of our product Kijimea Irritation Darm and the unique mechanism of action behind it were demonstrated in numerous clinical studies and published in renowned journals such as The Lancet.

Today we work with leading research institutions such as Charité Berlin to explore the links between the microbiota (bacteria in our intestine) and allergies, skin diseases and mental disorders. Together with you, we want to make Kijimea the world's largest probiotics brand by 2028 and give more than 50 million people a better life each year.
