About Protix

Protix is the leading company in insect-based ingredients for healthy and sustainable pet food, aqua culture, livestock feed and organic fertiliser. The company is on a mission to create low footprint ingredients that solve major issues in the current food system. Protix contributes to a circular food chain by using waste from the food industry as feed for insects. In turn, the insects are processed into valuable nutrients such as proteins and lipids. Protix's customers use these proteins and lipids as high-quality ingredients for animal feed and pet food. Moreover, residual streams from the insects are used as organic fertiliser. This way, insects close the loop and bring the food system back in balance with nature. Since its foundation in 2009, Protix has developed state-of-the-art, scalable technology, enabling the efficient use of resources and supply chain optimisation, including the reduction and recycling of residues and waste. Protix has been producing insect ingredients at its fully ramped-up industrial scale plant in The Netherlands since 2019. The company takes a measured approach to growth, resulting in profitable and cost-effective operations. Emphasising the power of partnerships, Protix actively collaborates with forward-thinking entities to unlock the full potential of insect ingredients worldwide.
