This strategic investment is designed to stimulate the growth of the vegetable market in Australia and allow APP to double the production of its vegetable protein isolates by March 2022.

“By combining APP’s proprietary extraction technology with our application expertise and our global sales and distribution networks, we offer significant competitive advantage in bringing high quality vegetable protein to customers around the world,” said Caleb Belser, VP, Punk Protein Business.
