The food industry is facing a fundamental transformation: rising costs, a shortage of skilled workers, and growing demand for healthy, sustainable, and functional products are putting existing production systems under pressure.

The reason: today’s production processes – especially in the area of plant-based proteins – are based on outdated technologies such as high-moisture extrusion. These are inflexible, energy-intensive, and designed for individual products. Changes in recipe, shape, or texture require extensive retooling, lead to downtime, and significantly slow innovation. In addition, the products often lack taste, texture, and quality.

We need to fundamentally rethink the way we produce food. That is why at Revo Foods we have developed our own software-controlled 3D extrusion technology. Our systems combine multiple process steps – portioning, filling, shaping, and texturing – into one automated production solution.

This enables the flexible production of complex-structured foods with variable shape, texture, and composition – without hardware adjustments. New products can be developed digitally and produced directly. At our production facility “THE TASTE FACTORY,” we are already producing several tons of product per month today, with the trend rising. This is unique worldwide – because until now, 3D printing was considered non-scalable.

Our technology creates multilayered, fibrous structures that are not possible with conventional processes. Initial products are already available in more than 1,000 retail outlets across Europe, including REWE, EDEKA, BILLA, Tegut, and SPAR. Since the start of production, we have sold more than one million units. Customers love our products: they contain few and natural ingredients (mushroom-based) and impress with their taste and texture. 2025 was our most successful year since the company was founded: annual recurring revenue stands at more than €1 million and continues to grow from quarter to quarter.

However, Revo Foods is primarily not a food producer, but a technology pioneer. In the long term, we scale through the sale of our production technology: industrial, modular systems including software and service for food manufacturers worldwide.

With the funds from the last financing round, we were able to significantly increase our operational efficiency through investments in automation and the optimization of our machines. As a result, our machines have become more efficient and waste has been reduced. Thanks to these design and technical improvements, we were able to increase our capacity from 25,000 to 40,000 units per month.

With this financing round, we will develop our next machine generation to increase efficiency, throughput, and automation. Now is the ideal time to invest: our technology is validated, demand for the products is growing strongly – and we are on the verge of scaling. Become part of this development and invest in the future of food production.

Revo Foods consists of an international team of 28 scientists, engineers, and motivated production staff. Together, we pursue the mission of tackling the problems of industrial factory farming and overfishing with plant-based proteins.

We are pioneers in the field of 3D food structuring and are not only trailblazers, but also technology leaders in this growing field. Our core innovation lies in the development of modular, licensable machines that integrate fat and protein components to create entirely new food structures – and thereby unlock new product categories.

To validate and demonstrate the scalability of our technology, we have focused on bringing complex-structured vegan protein products to the mass market, thereby proving both our multi-year technological lead and the commercial potential of our technology. Details on the machines can be found under “Innovation and Technology.”

With our proprietary industrial 3D food printing process, we have already successfully brought several products for end consumers to market.

3D-printed fish alternatives based on mycoprotein (fungal protein)

Our salmon fillet alternative “THE FILET” became the first 3D-printed food product available in supermarkets in 2023. Here, we hold an absolute pioneer status.

Following the success of THE FILET, we saw that many people also prefer light, culinary variations. Therefore, starting in February 2025, we launched several marinated versions of THE FILET, such as ASIAN FUSION STYLE, PINK PEPPER & LEMON STYLE, and BBQ STYLE.

In March 2025, we launched the first vegan alternative to white fish fillets, with a flavor reminiscent of char or cod. The very delicate structure is visually highly appealing, and the juicy taste has been very well received by consumers. This product also convinced BILLA and SPAR to list it and is enjoying growing popularity.

In order to offer our end consumers the broadest possible product portfolio, we have also brought additional alternative products to market. For example, in 2024 we introduced THE KRAKEN, a globally unique innovation – the world’s first vegan octopus alternative. The first edition sold out within just 24 hours. In addition, with our mushroom protein HACK, we also have a versatile meat alternative in our portfolio. HACK follows a clean-label concept with few, carefully selected ingredients.

Our products are available in BILLA, SPAR, 4 REWE regions, and 3 EDEKA regions, and demand for them is growing.

Next-gen protein products based on mycoprotein (fungal protein)

In light of changing industry trends, we are shifting our focus away from the traditional alternative products market and toward standalone, protein-rich, and healthy products for health-conscious consumers. With mycoprotein, our high-quality, sustainable, and healthy core ingredient, we have developed THE PRIME CUT – a versatile protein base that can be added to any meal. In this context, we are now also developing a new tofu-like product.

“3D extrusion allows us to completely rethink food production and place people’s individual needs at the center of the technology.” Robin Simsa, Commercial Director of Revo Foods GmbH

Revo Foods is developing a new technology for additive food manufacturing (3D food printing). 

The following points are particularly relevant in this context:

1. Integration of two different material phases: Our technology combines plant-based protein fibers with fats (essential for consistency) – an achievement that no other technology offers.
2. Scaling up through a continuous process: We have developed a new 3D extrusion printhead design (2 patents) that, for the first time, enables the continuous extrusion of a viscous material stream (e.g. plant-based proteins) and is protected by two patents. Another patent covers our multi-nozzle systems (1 patent), which make it possible to produce large quantities of material simultaneously. Both technological developments are essential for the cost-effective, high-volume production of food products.
3. Software control: Our proprietary slicing software enables the fast and flexible production of 3D foods. We are the first company in the world to implement a software environment specifically for the application of 3D food printing. Our software is a relevant technological aspect of Revo Foods and will also be important for future licensing to other companies.
4. 3D extrusion technology: Our new 3D extrusion technology enables flexible industrial production of high-quality products with complex shapes and structures. For the first time, seamless integration of vegan fat into plant-based protein fibers can take place. Our systems combine multiple process steps – portioning, filling, shaping, and texturing – into one automated production solution. This enables a new generation of food products such as authentic fish and meat alternatives and can be applied in many other areas of the food industry as a whole.
5. Production capacity: Through the continuous production process in combination with our multi-nozzle system (patent filed), it is possible for the first time to industrialize 3D food printing and bring it to the mass market. At our production facility “THE TASTE FACTORY,” we have been demonstrating as the first company in the world since September 2024 that this technology is also suitable for producing many tons per month, and our production capacity continues to increase steadily through new technological developments.
6. Mycoprotein: Revo Foods has also introduced a new innovation in material development. The main ingredient in our products is fermented fungal protein (“mycoprotein”), which exhibits a high degree of fibrousness created through the 3D printing process. Mycoprotein has a complete amino acid profile and high bioavailability, making it highly nutritious and also responsible for the Nutri-Score “A” of our salmon fillet.
7. We are a technology pioneer. Our goal is the sale and licensing of our production technology: industrial, modular systems including software and service for food manufacturers worldwide.

Shift from “alternative” to high-quality protein products

Our goal is to license our patented technology together with our software and support and to sell it as a modular production solution to food companies worldwide. Our primary target groups are large and medium-sized food producers, particularly in the fields of alternative proteins and viscous materials.

We are already in discussions with leading food producers and technology pioneers in order to continuously further develop our machines and bring them into industrial applications.

Demand for innovative production solutions is rising sharply – driven by profound changes in the market as well as the growing inadequacy of existing, outdated production processes. This is exactly where we come in: our technology enables entirely new product categories by creating innovative textures and structures that cannot be achieved with conventional methods.

Our systems combine multiple process steps – portioning, filling, shaping, and texturing – into one automated production solution. This opens up a wide range of possible applications for many different product types and use cases in the food industry.

At the same time, we continue to expand our distribution channels in order to reach more customers worldwide, demonstrate the scalability of our technology, and continuously develop new products.

Revo Foods was the first company to successfully transfer the 3D extrusion process into a scalable, industrial application, proving that 3D food printing not only works at laboratory scale, but also enables continuous production on a large scale. While many approaches on the market remain limited to small batches, we have used our patented technology to create the foundation for a new generation of industrial production systems.

At the core of our competitive advantage is our unique modular system that combines hardware, software, and process know-how. This integrated solution enables not only efficiency and scalability, but above all the production of entirely new product structures and textures that cannot be achieved with existing technologies. This results in a clearly differentiated product offering with a superior quality profile.

Our focus is on establishing this technology as a scalable business model: through the licensing of our patented systems, including software and support, to international food companies. Initial discussions with leading producers and technology partners confirm the strong interest in our solution.

This positions Revo Foods not just as a food brand, but as a technology leader in the field of industrial 3D food production – with the potential to set new standards in the industry and differentiate itself sustainably from the competition.

Our business model is based on two complementary pillars: the sale of our own products as a market entry strategy and the scalable commercialization of our technology through licensing and equipment sales.

In the short term, market entry is achieved through the production and sale of plant-based products to the food retail and food-service sectors. This approach enables us to validate our technology under real market conditions, demonstrate demand, and continuously refine it.

We currently use two sales channels for product distribution:

The first sales channel is the direct sale to supermarkets, wholesalers, and food-service businesses. The products are delivered chilled or frozen from our warehouse to customers. In addition, we offer our products directly to end consumers through our online shop.

The second sales channel is through distribution partners within the EU, who handle logistics, interim storage, and delivery to retail, wholesale, and food-service customers, while also supporting us with market access and product listings.

Even today, our products are available at leading European retail chains such as EDEKA, REWE, BILLA, SPAR, ICA, and Kaufland, as well as through numerous gastronomy and distribution partners.

In the long term, however, the clear focus is on expanding our technology business: the licensing and sale of our patented, modular production systems, including software and support. This model enables significantly greater scalability and margin potential than the pure product business.

With industrial scale in 3D food printing now achieved, interest from major food corporations is growing, as our technology enables the economically viable mass production of novel products with complex structures for the first time. We are already in discussions with potential partners and are actively building this business area, with market entry planned from 2027 onward.

1. Risk: Complex production technology that requires extensive R&D. Mitigation: The largest milestones of our technology have already been achieved, significantly reducing the overall risk.

2. Risk: Our organization and staff are currently very strongly focused on R&D. Mitigation: In the future, we will need to invest more in sales & marketing and optimize our processes accordingly.

3. Risk: EU legislation may affect the naming of these products. Mitigation: We take a proactive approach and incorporate legal changes into our planning. We are already trying to use product names that are free of legal risk.

4. Risk: Rising raw material prices could also affect our production costs. Mitigation: Our food technology team is already working on developing various possible formulations in order to use more cost-effective ingredients and avoid dependence on individual suppliers.

5. Risk: Products and technology may be copied by competitors. Mitigation: On the one hand, we have 3 patents protecting our technology and process; on the other hand, as a pioneer, we have a significant lead in knowledge and technology, which creates a high barrier to market entry for emerging companies.

6. Risk: Interest in plant-based products may decline and the market may no longer demand our products. Mitigation: We continuously improve our products on every level and aim to differentiate ourselves from competitors through superior quality. High-quality products enable us to reach and convince consumers. In addition, we are primarily technology developers of a platform that enables far more products than just meat and fish alternatives.

There are many companies in the field of plant-based protein products – but Revo Foods stands apart fundamentally through its proprietary, patented production technology. Our unique selling proposition lies not only in the product, but in the system behind it: a novel, industrially scalable 3D production platform that enables the creation of complex food structures and textures that are not possible with existing processes.

The origins of this technology lie in research: during his PhD, Robin developed the foundation for a new process technology after it became clear that conventional extrusion methods were reaching their limits in the production of structured, high-quality protein products. From this emerged the vision of fundamentally rethinking food production – through the use of 3D food printing as an industrial solution.

Since the company was founded in 2021, this technology has been systematically advanced – from initial prototypes and pilot products to industrial scale-up. In 2023, Revo Foods became the first company in the world to bring a 3D-printed food product into retail, thereby proving the market viability of the technology.

With the opening of the first industrial production facility (“THE TASTE FACTORY”) in Vienna in September 2024, the next milestone was achieved: our modular machines are already being used there in continuous operation and are currently producing more than 40,000 units per month. This facility serves not only for production, but above all as a proof of concept for the industrial applicability and scalability of our technology.

The resulting products, together with partnerships with leading retailers, demonstrate market demand and validation – but above all they form the basis for the next step: scaling our technology business through international partnerships, licensing models, and the sale of our production systems.

What other products can be made with this technology?

Our technology is not limited to individual products, but is designed as a platform for the development and industrial production of a wide range of structured foods. In addition to initial applications in the field of plant-based fish and protein products, we are continuously working on the development of new materials, recipes, and product concepts specifically optimized for our production systems.

The focus is on unlocking entirely new product categories with innovative textures and functionalities that cannot be achieved with existing technologies. This will enable our partners in the future to develop and produce a broad range of differentiated products – from protein-rich foods to entirely new food concepts.

Is the technology also suitable for other food processes?

Yes, our technology is deliberately designed as a flexible, modular system and can process a wide variety of viscous input materials – from protein-based masses to doughs, purées, and other food matrices.

Alongside the further development of our machines, we are actively working on new materials and applications in order to continuously expand the scope of our technology. This creates a scalable platform that can be used across different segments of the food industry.

The interest shown by major food producers already confirms this potential today. Our goal is to license the technology across industries after successful scaling, thereby unlocking new industrial applications as well as additional revenue streams.

Are these products actually healthy?

Absolutely. THE FILET has a Nutri-Score of “A” and a high omega-3 and protein content. All of our products contain mycoprotein as a high-quality ingredient, which, as a fermented fungal protein, is not only sustainable but also has a complete amino acid profile and higher bioavailability than beef.

What exactly is mycoprotein?

Mycoprotein is a fungal protein obtained through a fermentation process. For this, the fungal culture is grown in a nutrient medium (you can think of it like the nutrients in forest soil). It doubles its mass in just 5 hours, making it one of the most sustainable protein sources in the world!

How do you measure your impact?

Together with a master’s student, we examined the impact of our early production, showing that around 75% less CO₂ is emitted and up to 60% less energy is consumed compared to conventional fish. We also measure how many fish we have already saved, based on the assumption that our products were purchased instead of conventional fish. By December 2025, that number was more than 65,000 fish.

How do you reach your customers?

We rely on a wide range of marketing measures, and our social media channels are among the most-followed pages of companies offering plant-based fish alternatives. You can get an impression on Instagram or our YouTube channel.

Isn’t 3D printing only suitable for prototypes, but too slow for food production?

One of the key development goals of our work is to establish a continuous industrial process in 3D food printing. Our systems are more comparable to dosing systems that have long been used in the food industry (for example for chocolate production), but with more complex extrusion systems as well as 3D kinematics during the process. By using multi-nozzle systems and linking several extrusion systems, we achieve volumes at the same cost that are nearly identical to conventional extrusion systems, while being able to produce more complex shapes and textures. In our production facility “THE TASTE FACTORY,” we are already producing several tons of products per month, and output is constantly increasing!

How does Revo differ from the competition?

Thanks to our unique production technology, we have the ability to produce plant-based alternatives that stand out from the competition through their taste and texture. We have protected this technology with 3 patents.

What are the nutritional values of the products?

The filet has a protein content of 9.5% and contains a high proportion of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, as well as hardly any sugar and salt. That is why we are also allowed to market the product with Nutri-Score “A.”
