A closer look at The PRotein Brewery and the people behind it

Success doesn't happen overnight. It is the result of endurance and working with people who share the same vision.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

There is a reason why we do what we do and how we do it. Every choice we make, we make it deliberately. Learn more about the reason for our existence and our core values.

THE REASON FOR OUR EXISTENCE

To offer the world more sustainable, healthy and affordable high-grade proteins by using only a fraction of available land and water.

HOW?

Thanks to a biotic production process that delivers exponential yield.

To help companies that produce protein-integrated foods be more competitive in the development of targeted products that cover multiple dietary needs.

HOW?

Thanks to our production-efficient and low-cost proteins, marked by versatility.

5 CORE VALUES WE DON'T COMPROMISE ON

Always produce proteins as close as possible to their source, to the production sites and consumers.

WHY?

To limit the need for transportation and thus reducing CO2 emissions and to increase the self-sufficiency of countries for their need of proteins, thus fighting scarcity and soaring prices.

Only process non-allergenic raw materials

WHY?

To allow companies who process our proteins to put allergen-free products on the market.

Always develop products with a high nutritional value and as complete as possible in their composition

WHY?

To actively contribute to the physical health of people.

Never allow excessive salary gaps between people who work in our company

WHY?

To impart a sense of value, leading to a culture of total ownership, undivided responsibility and relentless dedication to the highest level of quality control.

Always favour companies to become our customers that want to make their products accessible to a broad target group

WHY?

To make animal-free proteins affordable to everyone, and lower the thresholds for a successful protein transition.
