Swiss alt meat startup Planted is doubling capacity at its German facility to scale production of its proprietary solid-state fermented whole-cut plant-based steaks and expanding into new product categories. The company is also exploring B2B partnerships to supply semi-finished products to local brands and butchers across Europe, while prioritising the DACH market due to capacity constraints.
