Planteneers Develops New Plant-Based Steak, Bacon & Ham to Be Produced on Handtmann Systems

Planteneers and Handtmann have expanded their collaboration to develop new plant-based meat alternatives, including steaks, bacon, ham, and carpaccio. The companies have focused on products with high sales potential in European markets, offering customers customized solutions for plant-based meat production. The manufacturing process involves using Planteneers’ fiildMeat P and fiildMeat S system solutions with Handtmann’s filling and portioning systems, allowing for adjustable size, shape, and fat layers of the products.

Planteneers has received positive feedback on its plant-based steak offerings, leading to the development of new application possibilities for the marbling unit. The new cost-optimized steak will be presented at IFFA 2025, allowing customers more flexibility in designing their product lines. With a high output capacity, the Handtmann system can produce over a tonne of plant-based meat per hour, catering to the growing market demand for plant-based alternatives.
