World First Integrated Precision and Mycelium Fermentation Protein Plant Coming to Switzerland

Fermentation manufacturing platform planetary SA has hired Glatt and IE Group to engineer what is claimed to be the world’s first integrated precision and mycelium fermentation plant. Based in Switzerland, the facility will be able to produce fermented proteins, lipids, and other compounds at scale, along with mycelium biomass. Planetary raised $8 million to build the facility earlier this year, with the intention of removing bottlenecks in the fermentation industry caused by a lack of bioprocessing capacity. This should help to reduce costs. Integrated process solutions firm Glatt will plan the process and safety technology systems for the facility, while IE Group — an industrial construction specialist — will design the building and infrastructure. The engineering process will have a focus on sustainability and resource …

Planetary Raises $8M to “De-Bottleneck the Food Fermentation Industry”

Swiss food tech company planetary has raised $8 million in a seed funding round, to construct production-scale capacity for the food fermentation industry. The round was led by impact investor Astanor Ventures, with participation from XAnge, Blue Horizon, Nucleus Capital, and more. As a contract development and manufacturing partner (CDMO), planetary will use the funding to increase production capacity for both microbial precision and mycelial biomass fermentation players. Switzerland base to offer solution While demand for fermented products is rapidly growing, the bioprocessing capacity to meet this demand currently does not exist, according to the company. Planetary‘s intention is to “de-bottleneck” the industry, ultimately operating a global network of automated production plants. This will begin with the construction of the company’s flagship plant in Switzerland. …
