General information
- Short Summary
- Swedish company specializing in plant-based ingredient production seeks manufacturing partners with expertise in protein extraction from plant raw materials. The company aims to establish long-term collaboration under manufacturing or outsourcing agreements with facilities capable of processing 2,000 tonnes of raw materials in the first year, with a gradual expansion to 10,000 tonnes annually in subsequent years.
- Full Description
-
Food production company focused on plant-based protein solutions is seeking facilities with expertise in protein extraction from plant raw materials. The company is scaling operations and aims to develop high-quality protein powders for use in meat alternatives, nutritional supplements, and functional foods.
To achieve this, the company is looking for experienced food processing factories with capabilities in plant protein extraction, drying, and powder processing. Ideal partners will have established production lines suitable for high-volume legume protein processing or be able to adapt their facilities accordingly.
This request aligns with the company's international expansion strategy, aiming to secure scalable and cost-effective production capacity within Europe. The company will focus on product development, while external partners will manage protein extraction and powder manufacturing.
Cooperation is expected under a manufacturing or outsourcing agreement, depending on the partner's capabilities. Facilities must be able to deliver food-grade protein powder that meets European food safety standards and is capable of processing 2,000 tonnes of raw materials in the first year, with a gradual expansion to 10,000 tonnes annually in subsequent years. - Advantages and Innovations
-
Chickpea protein provides a neutral taste profile and excellent emulsification properties, making it suitable for diverse applications.
The company's formulation approach reduces anti-nutritional factors often found in legume protein isolates.
Targeted protein purity and solubility standards enhance usability in high-protein formulations.
The product is aligned with growing demand for allergen-free, sustainable plant protein alternatives. - Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
- Partners should have the ability to process plant raw materials into protein powder using methods like wet or dry fractionation. Essential facilities must include: Pre-processing (cleaning, dehulling). Protein extraction lines. Drying and milling equipment. Quality control & food safety systems (compliant with EU standards such as HACCP, ISO 22000). Experience in plant proteins or legume processing. It should be capable of processing 2,000 tonnes of raw materials in the first year, with a gradual expansion to 10,000 tonnes annually in subsequent years.
