Wheat gluten cutlets, tofu sausages, or veggie burgers made from pulses: Alternative proteins have developed from niche products to mainstream in just a few years. A market that offers enormous opportunities for both start-ups and industrial-scale companies.

In order to make a contribution to sustainable food supply, MULTIVAC as one of the world's largest suppliers of processing and packaging solutions is supporting these businesses with a targeted range of complete solutions - and now it is also a member of Germany's BALPro (Federal Association for Alternative Protein Sources).

“In order to be able to feed the world's growing population sustainably, while also saving the environment, it is very important to drive forward the growth of alternative proteins,” says Christian Traumann, Group President of MULTIVAC.

“As a major supplier of processing and packaging solutions, we have therefore decided to join BALPro, the Federal Association for Alternative Protein Sources. As a technology leader in our sector, we see excellent opportunities here to exchange information with experts and companies, as well as bring our expertise in the area of food processing and packaging.”

BALPro lends its support to those players, who are working with food concepts for the future. Experts from the worlds of science and politics, as well as companies from every added value stage, are working closely together in the Association - and the members range from raw material growers to manufacturers of sustainable packaging solutions.

MULTIVAC offers individual solutions for processing and packaging alternative proteins
“As a new member of the Association, we want to support manufacturers of alternative proteins in their growth - with modern technology, many years of know-how and experience, and with a particular focus on complete solutions, which are sustainable and efficient,” says Klaus Deniffel, Project Manager for Alternative Proteins at MULTIVAC. Every product has to be considered individually. “Working in conjunction with our customers, we then develop tailored solutions, with which their products can be processed and packaged securely and cost-effectively. And if preferred, also in the new types of recyclable packaging materials, which offer an even better eco balance.”
