The Tofoo Co. Nature Tofu

The Tofoo Co. is a prominent British brand specializing in plant-based proteins, specifically high-quality tofu. Founded in 2016 by David and Lydia Knapman, the company quickly became a market leader in the UK by focusing on a firm texture and 'tofu with taste' that appeals to both vegetarians and meat-reducers.

Production takes place in North Yorkshire, England, where the tofu is handmade using traditional Japanese Nigari methods and organic soya beans. The enterprise has grown significantly desde its inception, moving from a small startup to a major supplier for national supermarkets.

In 2024, the brand was acquired by the investment firm Comitis Capital. This acquisition was aimed at accelerating the brand's international expansion and scaling its production capabilities to meet the growing global demand for meat alternatives. The ultimate ownership now lies with the Germany-based private equity company, although regional operations remain focused in the UK.
