Veganz Food Factory wins Brandenburg Innovation Award 

Berlin, 30.06.2022 Thanks to its comprehensive sustainability concept, the planned Veganz Food Factory was able to convince the expert jury for the Brandenburg Innovation Award and win in the category ‘Food Industry’.  

At its production site in Werder (Havel), Veganz will be applying conventional food production processes to climate-friendly vegan products. The future will see alternatives to meat, fish, cheese, and even the Veganz product innovation ‘The Egg’ produced here, while production resources will be cultivated as locally and sustainably as possible. To this end, Veganz has entered into research partnerships with renowned partners such as the Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology IME and BayWa AG.  

Even the production hall scores well in terms of sustainability and has been awarded the DGNB Gold certificate by the German Sustainable Building Council. The roof is set to feature solar panels to provide the electricity needed to power the Veganz Food Factory. Also still being examined is the option of constructing a combined heat and power plant that could use the heat created during production to generate electricity to power the cold stores.

Longer term, the Veganz Food Factory will provide work for up to 100 members of staff, most of whom will be hired locally to fill the newly created Veganz jobs. Production at the new site is likely to start in 2023.
