Expansion of FoodTech-competence in Europe: PHW Group and Mosa Meat become strong partners

On April 16th, 2024, the German family-owned company announces a strategic partnership with Mosa Meat and thus continues to invest substantially in the field of alternative proteins. Following the founding of VTEC Ingredients GmbH in July 2023 in order to further integrate the value chain of its plant based product base, the group is now strenghtening its involvement in the area of cultivated meat technology with this latest investment. This is an important milestone in the expansion of the PHW Group`s European FoodTech expertise.

The Dutch company Mosa Meat with its headquarter in Maastricht is amongst the world leading players in the field of Cultivated Meat for beef. Mosa Meat successfully launched its scale-up facility in May last year. In 2018 PHW Group already invested in the Israeli start-up SuperMeat, which is working on cultivated meat for chicken. "The partnership with Mosa Meat is of high significance for our FoodTech expertise with a focus on Europe and our diversification strategy in the business field of alternative protein sources. For us, Mosa Meat is an important European partner to further expand our expertise but also a platform to contribute our know-how and infrastructure of the PHW Group", comments Marcus Keitzer, Board Member for Alternative Proteins at the PHW Group. The expansion of this FoodTech expertise in the Cultivated Meat segment is therefore the next crucial step of the PHW Group to consistently driving forward alternative ways of protein production and new technologies in the food system.
