JUST & Emsland Group partner to scale plant-based JUST Egg

JUST has struck up a partnership to expand its protein processing capacity with Emsland Group.

The partnership is designed to provide the scale needed to meet increasing global demand for the award-winning, plant-based product marketed as JUST Egg in the United States.

Headquartered in Emlichheim, Germany, Emsland Group has manufactured pea and potato products that are essential elements in a wide range of food applications since 1928.

Partnering with JUST to process mung bean protein, the key ingredient in JUST Egg, will help ensure a manufacturing infrastructure for JUST Egg that is dependable, efficient and expandable.

“Our partnership with Emsland Group is not only an innovative and creative development in the world of protein processing but it will ultimately help us make JUST Egg more accessible and affordable to customers and consumers around the globe,” said Josh Tetrick, co-founder and CEO of JUST. “We’re excited to learn from their more than 90 years of experience and leadership in the food industry, guided by the philosophy ‘using nature to create.’
