• A Swedish plant protein taking the lead
• Sustainable grown and produced
• Scalable production capacity
Commercial production starts 2026
Investment to date
Factory output is ready to scale up. We can utilize other vegetable raw materials than the fava bean for making protein isolates without reconfiguring the layout/production rocess.
Unique water quality sourced from a nearby crater lake with subsequent sand filtration of water.
The steam boiler below is powered by biofuel. New invest- ment will enable the purchase of a new pellet steam boiler which will double production capacity.
Above photo shows the rotating vacuum filter optimizes the protein exchange by mixing water with the starch prior to entering the vacuum filter and is then reintroduced into the process.
The microfiltration unit under constuction will be used to refine the protein particles from other substances in the raw material.
Above photo shows the decanter separators which separate starch from the already separated fava bean in the water solution. The post decanter product is composed of water and protein.
The reverseosmosis-filter (RO-filter) unit which is currently being built and will then be assembled in the production facility.
The drying unit is in a newly erected part of the factory. A brand new spray dryer with a capacity of 2200 kg evaporated water/hour is installed here. The protein is heated to less than 60°C, in order to maintain the protein as close as possible to what it is in the crop in nature as possible.

Marc Ljungström, the driving force behind this project, has built a career on pioneering large scale investments in the food industry.
Starting as a trainee in fruit beverage production in Germany, he transformed his family’s small apple juice business into an advanced processing facility in collaboration with Alfa Laval. He later expanded operations by acquiring Tingsryds Bryggeri, introducing ground breaking sterile products with fruit pieces in Tetra Pak-style packaging—securing major clients like Knorr and Pripps. Marc played a pivotal role in developing the first oat-based beverage production, the foundation of Oatly.
Over four decades, he led Maseco AB, supplying cutting-edge technology to the food sector. His expertise continued with Castellet Bruk AB, working with industry leaders like Tetra Pak. Most recently, he is spearheading an innovative plant-based protein production facility, combining decades of technical know-how with strategic investment acumen.
Åke Ståhl is the person behind the know how technology to extract, purify and isolate plant based proteins with neutal taste, bright colour, high solubility and maintaining the proteins functionality, as it is in the plant.
Åke is a food chemical engineer with long experience from quality control, microbial analysis, supervisor in dairy for yoghurt production, technical sales and customer service including application technology for the food and pharmaceutical industries in the Nordic countries for speciality starches, research and development of processes and products connected with starch industries.
He has also been the company representative in different joint research projects together with Universities, RISE, VINNOVA and SLU, where he has acted as a technical consultant for the researchers.
Åke is an inventor and has been involved in a vast number of patents. He has won the best technical solution two times on the International Internet site “Innocentive.com”- platform for projects which companies search solutions for but have not been able to solve. The site is today sold out to another company. On top of this he has also been involved in food legislation matters for the EU starch trade association.
Åke has totally almost 45 years of experience from different parts of the food industry and how to solve technical problems within this business area.
