Planted plant-based meat alternative

Planted is a Swiss food-tech company founded in 2019 as a spin-off from ETH Zurich. The brand was established with the goal of creating clean-label, plant-based meat alternatives that mimic the texture and taste of traditional animal proteins without the use of additives. Their product line includes alternatives to chicken, pulled pork, and kebab.

The company maintains its own production facility in Kemptthal, Switzerland, ensuring high quality and sustainable manufacturing processes close to its research headquarters. Planted operates as an independent company, backed by various venture capital investors and private equity firms, rather than being a subsidiary of a major traditional global food conglomerate. This independence allows them to focus strictly on their mission of revolutionizing the protein industry through biotechnology and sustainable Swiss engineering.
