NUTRIS opens first European fava bean protein isolate manufacturing facility that uses groundbreaking technology
The investment is a joint venture with the Danish SiccaDania, one of the top companies providing engineering solutions for the plant-based industry. The factory uses groundbreaking technology that the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) had been developing for over a decade, and that SiccaDania and NUTRIS.tech™ have intensively tested and further improved, at the same time proving its application in an industrial environment. This investment is part of a larger investment cycle, which includes expansion of existing facilities until 2025 and establishment of state-of-the-art NUTRIS.park™, as leading agro-industrial HUB, by 2030.

NUTRIS.tech™ produces protein isolates, starch and fiber from fava beans and potatoes, and currently cooperates with more than 250 family-run farms and employs 50 experts. Their goal is to reach a production capacity of 70,000 tonnes of high-quality ingredients for the food industry by 2025 in cooperation with more than a thousand family-run farms, as well as to create another 100+ new jobs. Their plant-origin ingredients are marketed under the NutriSmart brand and are of superior quality, suitable for both vegetarians and vegans. They are also gluten- free, allergen-free, and of neutral taste, produced from raw materials sourced across the EU. They are intended for the food industries in the fastest growing markets, including the EU, North America , and Asia .
NUTRIS operates according to the principles of the circular economy, with the aim of reducing waste and increasing the use of sustainable energy sources. Accordingly, they obtain 100% of the electricity they need from renewable energy sources. Finally, their water is filtered and reused, and the byproduct of extracting protein from fava beans is used to fertilize new fields.
