Paleo is a European B2B food technology company that researches and develops animal-free heme proteins through precision fermentation to create healthy, sustainable, and animal-friendly alternatives for meat and fish. Their primary focus is on myoglobin, a heme protein present in animal muscle tissue, which, when added to plant-based products, enhances their look, taste, and nutritional value.

Paleo

Paleo researches and develops new functional ingredients to improve plant-based meat and fish alternatives. Through precision fermentation, Paleo produces specific meat and fish proteins which are 100% bio-identical to animal proteins and 100% GMO-free.
When added to plant-based products our ingredients create an ultimate meat or fish experience.

Our primary focus is on myoglobin, a heme protein present in animal muscle tissue. Adding myoglobin makes plant-based foods look and taste more like ‘real’ meat or fish (color, smell, taste, aromatic experience) and provides added nutritional value (essential nutrients). 

Precision fermentation is a proven, innovative technology that uses micro-organisms, such as yeasts, that are programmed to produce selected target proteins. This technology is versatile, scalable, and already used in many industries such as the production of pharmaceuticals (e.g. insulin).

Compared to the conventional farming of animals, precision fermentation has a significantly lower environmental impact (lower greenhouse gas emissions, less land use, less water consumption) and offers benefits for public health (containing no antibiotics or hormones). 

Paleo contributes to global food security and reduces the negative impact of the conventional production of animal proteins on animal welfare, the environment, biodiversity, and human health. 

By focusing on sustainability, health and food security, Paleo contributes directly or indirectly to the realization of at least 11 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

It is Paleo’s mission to be a game changer in today’s international food industry and make future food production more healthy, ethical and sustainable.

We're #expanding! 🙌🏻 And many of you joined us to celebrate this occasion! 🥂🤩

Our new R&D Center, equipped with larger laboratory facilities, has officially been inaugurated in Leuven (Belgium). As a growing company with significant ambitions, these facilities are crucial for our operations. 🌍🚀

The expanded laboratory facilities mark a significant progression towards the scale-up and commercialization phase of our company. Thanks to the support of our investors, partners and all stakeholders (🙏🏻) we're looking at the future with great confidence! 💪🏻

From our two co-founders 👬 starting the company a little over three years ago, we have now multiplied our workforce by more than tenfold. And currently, we are also bringing in key figures from the broader industry to join Paleo's leadership team. Together, we are ready for the ride... 🎢🤝🏻

Sometimes life is about the journey, not the destination.👇🏼 And these colleagues made it all worthwhile!

The journey is not always easy (we know). Despite a snow storm ❄️ , our train breaking down 🚂, the chain of 3 local trains to take before reaching our destination 🎢 , and the freezing cold during all outside activities - against all these odds, #TeamPaleo experienced a great teambuilding in Frankfurt!

Jokes were made, hot coffees were ordered, friendships were strengthened (while snowballs were thrown) and sleep was definitely lost. 😬 A big thank you to all colleagues for showing great flexibility and for keeping team spirit high. All were rewarded with some delicious vegan foods! 🌱

Sometimes it doesn’t matter where you go, what you do or what goes wrong. As long as you surround yourself with the right people, it’s time well spent! 🙏🏻
