Steakholder Foods has opened its first full-scale Demonstration Center at its headquarters in Rehovot, Israel.
The new facility features live demonstrations of the company's 3D printers – the MX200 and HD144 – showcasing real-time production of plant-based meat and seafood alternatives.
Designed to promote customer engagement, the demo centre is built to the standards of a food production facility, providing clients and partners with a unique opportunity to experience the start-up's entire production process firsthand.
From the preparation of materials through to production and packaging, visitors can witness every step of the process. They can also participate in tasting sessions, enabling Steakholder Foods to present the quality and versatility of its products.
Through the new centre, Steakholder Foods aims to enhance client engagement and showcase its full capabilities in creating customised, high-quality plant-based foods using advanced 3D printing technologies.
The centre demonstrates the creation of two of Steakholder Foods’ products:
MX200 Printer: Utilises Fused Paste Layering (FPL) technology to replicate the intricate textures of traditional meat by combining plant-based proteins and fats. It offers customisation for various meat alternatives.
HD144 Printer: Employs Drop Location in Space (DLS) technology, allowing precise placement of plant-based ingredients to create authentic seafood textures, from tender fish to flaky fillets.
Customers can observe these printers in action, engage in tasting sessions and explore how Steakholder Foods' solutions can be tailored to meet their specific needs.
Arik Kaufman, CEO of Steakholder Foods, said: “We believe that our Demo Center will be a cornerstone of interaction with potential clients and partners. It’s not just about seeing the technology in action – it’s about experiencing the future of food production in real-time. This centre will play a critical role in promoting our capabilities and building stronger relationships within the industry.”
The company believes this hands-on approach will significantly enhance understanding and interest in its innovative food technologies. The centre has already hosted its first international visitors and also plans to conduct virtual tours.
