Bühler, Endeco Combine to Meet Growing Alternative Protein Demand

Bühler Group announces a new strategic partnership with German engineering companyEndeco为了推动前进的脉冲处理，满足对蛋白质替代来源的不断增长的需求，并开发脉冲加工溶液的二氧化碳足迹明显降低。

Endeco, specialized in the design and construction of starch and protein plants, and Bühler have agreed to build a new Protein Application Center at Bühler’s headquarters in Uzwil, Switzerland, to offer customers end-to-end solutions, from bean to burger, including all wet and dry processing.

Plant protein processing is a key technology in meeting the growing global population’s needs.

Growing pulse protein demand

布勒指出，生产1公斤基于动物的蛋白质的平均4公斤基于植物的蛋白质，并且大约三分之二的农业土地已用于牲畜。该公司认为，可以可持续地转变为满足蛋白质需求增长的更多基于植物的替代方案。

Together, Bühler and Endeco will drive business opportunities in the growing pulse protein space.

Endeco brings decades of experience designing and implementing starch and protein plants, making a perfect match with Bühler’s processing technologies.

“Together we can cover the whole value chain,” says Johannes Wick, CEO Business Grains & Food at Bühler.

“ Endeco为磨坊和脉冲处理之间的Bühler提供了最后的缺失作品。我们已经是干燥加工技术的市场领导者。通过这种战略合作伙伴关系，我们在湿加工技术方面增加了专业知识，并将能够从BEAN到汉堡提供完整的端到端解决方案。”

For Endeco, the agreement represents an opportunity to contribute its expertise in plant engineering and construction to this growing market.

“We offer a complete process plant for starch and protein production," says Karl-Heinz Bergmann, owner and CEO of Endeco.

"When we started developing plants for pulse processing in 2005, the valuable part was the starch, today it is the protein.

“与Bühler一起，我们不仅将帮助满足对蛋白质更可持续的蛋白质来源的不断增长的需求，而且还可以改善加工技术本身的环境足迹。”

乌兹维尔的新蛋白质应用中心

The new Protein Application Center in Uzwil will enable the build-up of know-how and drive the further development of processes for the production of meat substitute products.

它将为访问乌兹维尔的客户提供机会自己看到他们如何利用上游和下游流程的完整整合，从而打开许多新的机会。

Bühler说，豆类是有希望的成分，可提供良好的蛋白质来源。它们可用于制作美味的面包，意大利面，饮料和肉替代品。随着消费者对无麸质和纯素食食品的需求不断增长，与2017年相比，到2025年对脉搏粉的需求预计将增长10％。

蛋白质应用中心将由Endeco进行管理和操作，将集成到Bühler的现有基础设施中，用于植物性蛋白质加工，连接乌兹维尔的谷物创新中心和挤出应用中心。

Endeco will continue with its other operations at its site in Buchholz-Mendt, Germany.
