Spanish plant-based meat leader Heura has achieved profitability for the first time in Q1 2026 after years of focused investment in proprietary food technology and supply chain efficiency. The company, which has raised €108M to date, is now looking to expand by becoming a tech supplier to other brands and retailers, offering its production and formulation expertise to create products that better meet consumer needs.

Heura's innovative Good Rebel Tech division uses a unique thermomechanical processing technique to develop vegan products with superior sensory and nutritional values. The company aims to battle the ultra-processed tag that has plagued the plant-based sector by expanding its product range and offering a white-label approach to produce plant-based products for retailers and brands in markets where it doesn't directly compete. Heura's success in the plant-based category has positioned it as a primary growth driver and they are now focused on continuing to innovate and help build products that consumers genuinely love.
