Meatless Farm has invested an initial $12 million in the 30,000 square-foot facility in Calgary, Canada for its subsidiary, Lovingly Made Ingredients, for processing textured plant protein.
Lovingly Made Ingredients will provide Meatless Farm with textured plant protein and enable the expansion into other customized plant protein products, such as snacks, bakery, and cereals, for selected external partners.
The Yorkshire, UK-based Meatless Farm is eyeing a production capacity of up to 14,500 tons of plant protein ingredients by 2023.
The facility will be the first-of-its-kind on this scale in Canada and marks one of Meatless Farm's biggest investments to date.
According to Meatless Farm founder, Morten Toft Bech, with Canada being the pea-capital of the world, it makes sense for them to have a facility there to grow, harvest, process and extract pea protein.
Meatless Farm now operates in 24 countries with multiple product lines stocked in six major supermarkets in the UK. The company is aiming for the plant to be net-zero on carbon emissions within the first year and will use manufacturing processes to halve its energy and water use.
Meatless Farms plans to have 10 store-keeping units over the next six months and is also investing in Europe and Asia to shorten the supply chain.
