Aurora, Illinois Aug 29, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Planteneers Continues Growth Course; New US Location Opens
The desire to improve upon plant-based products shows no sign of slowing down. The rapid development of innovative products plays a central role in this, as seen from the growth of food tech company Planteneers. This specialist in functional systems for plant-based alternatives has become a key player in the strongly expanding plant-based market in just three years. Now, the company has opened a new office in the United States. In Aurora, Illinois, Gretchen Moon, Vice President of Commercial Operations for North America, and her team will focus on the expectations of American consumers. In addition to sales, distribution, and marketing specialists, its product managers and R&D technologists will provide new ideas and high-sales potential concepts.
"Our portfolio comprises three product areas - plant-based alternatives to meat and sausage products, seafood, and cheese and dairy," said Gretchen Moon. "In plant-based sausage products, we focus on alternatives to raw sausages like salami and chorizo, snack sticks, cold cuts, and small sausages. In meat alternatives, we naturally address the BBQ classics, steak, and ground meat." The plant-based seafood line is likewise tailored to the preferences of American consumers, with salmon filet and smoked salmon, shrimp, calamari, sashimi, fish sticks, and breaded filets, naturally all purely plant-based. "Cheese and dairy products are also interesting from our perspective," said Moon. "Manufacturers can use our systems to make plant-based alternatives to parmesan, cheddar, feta, and cream cheese." The course will be an ideal opportunity for relaxed networking. Here, starting at 5:00 PM, visitors can wrap up the first show day with snacks made with innovative Planteneers product developments. The podium discussion "They Introduced Plant-Based to the World... What's Next?" on September 8 from 11:45 to 12:30 in the Executive Summit Room will provide new inspiration. Rebecca Dengrove, Technical Sales Manager Planteneers East Coast, will moderate the event. The guests, founders, and CEOs of Eat, GOOD PLANeT Foods, and No Evil Foods will discuss the industry's future.
Planteneers USA: The Starting Gun for a New Customer Center
There is no need for further speculation on the future of Planteneers in the US. The following steps are evident - construction has already begun on the new Customer Excellence Center in Aurora, slated to open next summer. In addition, the Applications Technology team will be expanded. The company will also present new ideas for food manufacturers as a Gold Sponsor of the Future Food Tech show in San Francisco in March 2024. "Plant-based is more and more important in the North American market. New, innovative products increasingly similar to conventional animal products will be easier for consumers to integrate into their daily lives since they fit existing habits. At our new location with production, R&D, and the upcoming Customer Center, we can address customer-specific requirements for the US market even better," noted Gretchen Moon.
