Beneo (Mannheim, Germany) invested €50 million in a brand new pulse processing web site for meals and animal feed in Offstein, Germany. It’ll focus initially on protein focus, starch wealthy flour, and hulls from Faba bean, with the choice to course of different pulses sooner or later.
“The current funding by Beneo into a brand new pulse manufacturing web site is just the place to begin,” stated Christoph Boettger, member of the chief board at Beneo, in a press launch. “We strongly imagine in plant-based components and due to this fact see the brand new plant as an vital first step in enlarging our protein providing shifting forwards. This may allow us to provide a greater diversity of sustainable plant-based protein components over the approaching years.”
Work has already begun on setting up the plant and is predicted to be accomplished inside the second half of 2024, creating as much as 25 jobs on the web site.
