The partnership also includes an equity investment from AAK in Savor, and will focus on scaling solutions for two segments where fats play a critical role in taste, texture, and functional performance.

The partnership will see the technology deployed at Crespel & Deiters’ facility in Helmond, the Netherlands, to produce high-quality textured vegetable proteins (TVP) from European-grown pulses such as fava beans and peas.

The systems are engineered to load multiple trays of unbaked product onto corresponding oven decks quickly and safely, then unload them after baking, removing strenuous, repetitive tasks from bakery staff and reducing the risk of workplace injuries.

By expanding manufacturing capacity and accelerating innovation, the new facility will strengthen the company’s ability to meet rising consumer demand for memorable food experiences in one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing markets.
