Meat substitute manufacturer

Schouten is a meat substitute manufacturer. In 1990, we were already following our belief that the world needed a sustainable alternative for meat. We became the first meat substitute manufacturer in the Netherlands. Today, we’re operating at a global level and we even have our own team in the USA, Schouten USA, where we’re very active. Our products are made with plant-based protein derived from soya, wheat and peas. We also use many additional plant-based protein sources at Schouten, including nuts, seeds, lentils and chickpeas.

What makes us different from other meat subtitutes?

We stopped being the only meat substitute manufacturer a long time ago. But we’ve always continued to differentiate ourselves. With more than 30 years of market experience, we’ve gained lots of in-house know-how. Both in the field of product development and in marketing.

If you choose Schouten as your meat substitute manufacturer, you’ll be able to count on a very professional partner that provides you with high-quality products as well as advice and support for the successful marketing of your product concept. Over the years, we’ve established various successful collaborations with supermarket chains, food service providers and wholesalers in the USA.
