Sentara Group, based in Nusajaya, Johor, Malaysia, operates in biotechnology research and agritech, turning vegetable-based and processing by-products into upcycled inputs. It employs a proprietary approach that blends biotechnological methods with black soldier fly larvae to convert waste streams into animal feed ingredients, insect meals, and biofertilisers, alongside biostimulants. The company runs a two-hectare production facility in Iskandar Puteri and a separate biofertiliser plant in Senai, each meeting industry standards to support international export. The business targets customers in agriculture and pet-food supply chains, providing frass-based bioactive fertilizers and biostimulants that aim to control tropical fungal diseases and improve soil health, as well as insect-derived feed components. Its operations are backed by Control Union certification for its biofertilizer facility and GMP/HACCP-certification for its insect-product facility in Johor Bahru, enabling export to markets in Japan, the EU, Australia, Canada, and the United States. Founded in 2015 as Nutrition Technologies by Nick Piggott and Tom Berry, the company later became Sentara Group.
