Our back story
We are a family owned business located in Austin, Texas. We have been making microbes and microbial products for over 30 years. We produce large quantities of concentrated beneficial archaea soil and water microbial products. All of our microbes are produced locally by us, this allows us to control the high quality and standards that has allowed us to be successful. Our history Oppenheimer Biotechnology, Inc. (OBI) was started over 30 years ago by Dr. Carl H. Oppenheimer. Carl was passionate about discovering, collecting, and using archaea soil and water microbes to cleanup, restore, and improve the environment. We have continued in his footsteps and expanded his vision. Dr. Carl H. Oppenheimer is known around the world as one of the founding fathers of modern bioremediation technology. He devoted his life to the research and development of ecologically safe and sound methods of cleaning petroleum hydrocarbon pollution.
All of our products start from a concentrate called The Oppenheimer Formula and all of our products are made from it. The big difference between our products is the concentration of microbes of each product. BioZorb has the least amount and The Oppenheimer Formula I has the most.
