© 2025 Neogen Corporation. All rights reserved. | 4 Petrifilm® Manufacturing Neogen understands the importance of Petrifilm to customers and the industry, and is making investments to ensure the operations deliver stable, reliable supply well into the future. Neogen has built a state-of-the-art production facility in Lansing, Michigan, into which the production of Petrifilm will gradually transition from our current third-party manufacturing partner. The same bespoke production equipment manufacturer used by our transition manufacturing partner in Poland is currently being installed in the facility. The same key manufacturing engineers who previously started up Petrifilm manufacturing in Poland are Neogen employees and guiding the project, along with a steering committee utilizing a strict governance process to manage timelines, ensure key milestones are met and plan for and de-risk next steps. The same critical raw materials used by our manufacturing partner will be used in Neogen’s production of Petrifilm to ensure the same product performance customers have come to expect. Petrifilm will have continuous supply during the transition period, ensuring there will be no time when Petrifilm is not being produced as the Neogen facility ramps up to full-scale production.
