Hi, our name is Planted.
The new standard for plant-based meat.
Bite by bite, we aim to reduce the negative impact of the traditional meat industry on our planet while providing healthy and tasty proteins. Our plant-based meat is made only from clean ingredients, contains no additives and saves animal lives.
Our history
Planted was founded in 2019 after Pascal Bieri was working in the USA in 2017 and became aware of various meat substitutes, but was bothered by the many additives. He brought his cousin Lukas Böni on board, who was in the process of completing his doctorate in food process engineering.
Through a professor at ETH Zurich, the two came together with ETH doctoral student Eric Stirnemann, who was particularly familiar with the wet extrusion process. The team was completed by Christoph Jenny, a finance expert who had already gained a lot of experience in the foodservice industry by this time. As a late founder, Judith Wemmer joined Planted’s executive board in 2020.
