Believer Meats, a pioneer in the cultivated meat industry, has signed a strategic partnership agreement with GEA, one of the world’s largest suppliers of production scale equipment and systems to the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries.

Jeff Tripician will lead Meatable as it prioritizes U.S. market expansion.

The center will house pilot lines for cell cultivation and precision fermentation, bridging the gap between benchtop and commercial production of alternative proteins.

Meatable, the innovative food tech company on a mission to deliver cultivated meat at scale, has successfully hosted the first-ever legally approved cultivated meat tasting in the European Union. 

As so-called cruelty-free meat moves out of the lab and into the mainstream, how soon can we expect to see it on menus?

The innovation center will be used to evaluate processes for the production of new food on a transferable pilot scale.

The new pilot facility is double the size of Meatable’s previous office and lab space, enabling it to increase its bioreactor capacity, ensuring the company has more space to test and produce large volumes of its cultivated pork products.
