[Evonik](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000fsc/evonik-industries) launched Lypron, a rumen-protected lysine solution for targeted amino acid nutrition in ruminants, developed with French coating specialist Sipena, which will exclusively manufacture it. The [B2B Marketplace](https://www.fibre2fashion.com/news/chemicals-news/evonik-launches-rumen-protected-lysine-with-france-s-sipena-314403-newsdetails.htm) reported the launch on October 21, 2026. The product complements Mepron in Evonik's ruminant portfolio and supports low-protein, soy-reduced and non-GMO diets.

## How Lypron Delivers Metabolizable Lysine

Evonik said Lypron delivers metabolizable lysine precisely where it is needed, supporting efficient and balanced feeding strategies in modern livestock production. Lysine is one of the most limiting amino acids in ruminant nutrition and plays a critical role in performance, according to the company. With its high and reliable metabolizable lysine content, Lypron enables producers to balance diets for amino acids more precisely, reducing the need for expensive protein sources.

"With Lypron, we are expanding our ruminant solutions to complement our established products like Mepron," said Marion Hax, Head of the Specialty Nutrition Product Line at Evonik Animal Nutrition. "Completing our amino acid balancing concept allows us to support customers in achieving both higher performance and more sustainable feeding strategies."

Claudia Parys, Global Head of the Ruminant Business at Evonik Animal Nutrition, said: "Lypron helps nutritionists optimize amino acid supply, increase productivity, and reduce reliance on excess dietary protein, which is increasingly important both economically and environmentally." By improving the dietary amino acid balance, Lypron supports the use of low protein diets, optimizing nitrogen utilization, which can contribute to lower nitrogen excretion. As a non-GMO solution, it supports market requirements in regions where GMO free production is essential.

## Evonik's Portfolio Moves Behind Lypron

Evonik confirmed it will exit its global polyester business in 2027, affecting approximately 350 positions at facilities in Witten and Marl in Germany and Shanghai in China, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records show Evonik announced in June 2026 the sale of selected pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturing assets at its Hanau facility in Germany to contract manufacturing specialist ProChem Group, sharpening its Health Care focus on advanced drug delivery, biosolutions, and pharmaceutical lipids for mRNA and gene delivery. Evonik reported 2025 sales of €14.1 billion, down 7% year-over-year, and raised its full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA outlook to €2.0-2.2 billion from a prior €1.7-2.0 billion range.

## Earlier Evonik Partnerships

In October 2026, Evonik, Toyotsu Chemiplas and Sanyo Chemical launched a Japan polyurethane foam recycling initiative to convert discarded foam into recycled polyols and amines, B2B Marketplace reported. In June 2026, Evonik entered a strategic partnership with the School of Mining at the University of Guanajuato in Mexico to develop next-generation sustainable and lower-toxicity chemical solutions for mining applications using Evonik's rhamnolipid biosurfactants platform, according to akta.pro company records. In May 2026, Vary Tech and Evonik partnered to launch a full-industry chain process package for chemically recycling mixed waste plastics into high-quality Plastic Pyrolysis Oil and circular naphtha, establishing CARBON LOOP SYSTEMS PTE. LTD., the same records show.
