Our country and Dunaföldvár have become the epicenter of European grain biorefining in the last 10 years
Climate change, food security, energy crisis. The world’s leading companies are constantly looking for solutions to this triple challenge in a constantly changing market environment. Europe’s largest biorefinery, Pannonia Bio, which has been operating in Dunaföldvár for 10 years, will put into operation two vegetable protein production lines this year: a 60,000-ton barley protein concentrate and a 20,000-ton corn protein concentrate, with further expansion plans.

High-quality plant protein concentrates and isolates are increasingly in demand in Europe in markets defined by the gradual change in the European diet. Until now, the lack of cost-effective, high-quality, “clean-label”, GMO-free and non-exotic plant proteins has limited both the market expansion and fair distribution of these products. Pannonia Bio’s plant protein concentrates will accordingly be an important building block of the European market, and they will be joined by similar new products in the coming years. – The production of vegetable proteins has been an area of strategic importance in Dunaföldvár for years, keeping in mind the ever-increasing needs of the food industry. Years ago, we invested in several companies and in the development of our own R&D activities, which put us at the forefront of grain-based protein innovation. Pannonia Bio appears on this market on a significant scale with its products; our new barley protein plant is one of the 10 largest such industrial facilities in the world. – says Ferenc Hódos, strategic director of Pannonia Bio.
Pannonia Bio’s protein products can be used in many food categories, such as snacks, bakery products, breakfast cereals, milk and meat substitutes. In the future, the products will be available to food industry companies throughout the European Union.
