Protix is the leading insect company in circular, natural and sustainable proteins from insects. Our mission is to bring the food system back in balance with nature. Insects are part of the solution to the protein crisis while building a natural and circular food system with minimised food waste. The black soldier fly (hermetia illucens) is a key player in bringing our vision to life: their larvae provide us with a unique source of protein for food and feed. We are the market leader when it comes to high quality and scalable insect ingredients production. What makes this possible are the 100+ unique individuals within our company, who are engaged and empowered to make a difference. Our belief in the power of the insect inspires the passion and creativity that makes us successful.
