Former Cosun Executive Thijs Bosch Succeeds Sue Garfitt as CEO of The Protein Brewery

Thijs Bosch has been appointed as the new CEO of The Protein Brewery, succeeding Sue Garfitt who will move into a non-executive role. With over 15 years of experience in the food ingredients sector, particularly in plant-based protein markets, Bosch aims to build on the foundation laid by Garfitt and lead the company into its next phase of growth. The company has recently completed key milestones such as launching product sales in the United States, obtaining regulatory approval for its Fermotein® ingredient in Singapore, and commissioning its Mijkenbroek production facility.

Garfitt expressed gratitude for the opportunity to lead The Protein Brewery through its initial scale-up phase and believes that it is now time for a new CEO to take the company to the next level. Investors have shown confidence in the company's direction, with lead investor Thomas Grotkjær noting that Bosch's appointment signals a focus on adding scale and developing more partnerships. The Protein Brewery operates in the plant-based protein ingredients market, utilizing fermentation technology to produce its products, and is poised to expand its commercial footprint under Bosch's leadership.
