The posting

Happy Plant Protein is a recent spin-off from VTT, changing the way plant proteins are made. Our patented technology allows food manufacturers to create superior plant protein in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way. Technology is compatible with existing dry extrusion production lines

Our mission is simply to change the way plant proteins are made. We want to make it through the joy of creating something simple and smart – in our case, a new way to produce plant-based ingredients that makes everyone smile. We want it to be easy to scale with low additional investment costs. That’s why our solution works beautifully in existing facilities and production lines.

We turn humble flours into high-value Happy plant ingredients that food makers love to work with and consumers love to eat. One joyful step, zero waste, delightfully neutral taste — all in existing facilities, with margins that smile back. www.happyplantprotein.com
