ProteinLAB
Protein.
Engineered.
A playground for real-world protein development. In ProteinLAB, you, as food producers, can develop and test protein products under real production conditions, from raw ingredients to newly developed products of meat, poultry, fish, and plant-based alternatives. At scale. Without downtime in your own plants.
ProteinLAB offerings
New product.
Playground.
ProteinLAB is designed for hands-on development, pilot production, and testing across animal and plant-based proteins. Here, you, as protein producers, can explore processes, optimise quality, and validate products under realistic conditions, such as sausage making, portioning, forming, texture optimisation, smoking, dry-ageing, flavouring, tumbling, pilot production, and full-scale production facilities.
In addition to our MULTIVAC equipment, we are proud partners and retailers of quality brands such as Handtmann, Talsa, Rühle and Kerres.
About ProteinLAB
Where protein
comes. To life.
ProteinLAB is designed for food producers looking to develop and refine protein products in a setting that reflects production realities.
From classic meat to poultry, fish, and plant-based alternatives, the lab provides a practical environment for crafting new products, refining texture, testing taste, and evaluating form and process performance before full-scale production.
Working hands-on with real machinery and experienced specialists, you can explore techniques such as charcuterie, portioning, forming, slicing, marinating, curing, smoking, and dry-ageing, while testing packaging in our PackagingLAB.
ProteinLAB. Offers.
- Developing and refining protein concepts, e.g. sausages
- Testing techniques such as smoking, curing, flavouring, dry-ageing, etc.
- Optimising texture, taste, yield, and product quality
- Pilot productions and zero series without tying up existing lines
Key benefits
Test.
To trust.
From process to tested product. ProteinLAB helps you, as a food producer, reduce risk, refine performance, and move forward with greater confidence before full-scale rollout.
Key benefit 01
Processes.
Proven.
Test and refine protein products under realistic production conditions without disrupting existing operations. We are ready with advice, ideas, and practical support.
Key benefit 02
Pains.
Solved.
Work side by side with MULTIVAC’s protein specialists on new product development, techniques, optimisation, and practical problem-solving.
Key benefit 03
Pilot runs.
Proven.
Create prototypes, pilot runs and/or packaged zero series for internal validation, customer dialogue, or market testing. In our PackagingLAB, you can test packaging of new products.
ProteinLAB
Changing demands.
Speed to market.
Consumer and customer expectations for animal and plant-based protein products are evolving fast. Demands for greater variety, better taste and texture, more convenient formats, clearer positioning, and CO2-friendly products are all putting pressure on producers to launch new products faster than ever. This means developing products that not only taste good and are in demand but also perform reliably in production and packaging.
ProteinLAB provides you with a practical environment where products, techniques, and processes can be tested, refined, and validated before they enter full-scale production.
Whether the focus is meat, poultry, fish, or plant-based alternatives, the lab helps you move from idea to tested solution with less risk, shorten time-to-market, and make better decisions earlier in the process.
