  • Gavan Secures USD8M to Commercialize Cutting-Edge Plant-Based Fat

    Start-up is establishing a new European facility for commercial production of its plant-based Fatrix® fat Caesarea, Israel – FoodTech start-up Gavan Technologies, Ltd. announces it has raised USD8M in A-round funds. This fresh capital infusion will enable Gavan to break into the European food market with its cutting-edge plant protein-based fat solution, Fatrix®. The funding round was led by MoreVC, a prominent Israeli venture capital firm, with participation from Lever VC, a global leader in food and agri-tech investment; EIT Food, a European Union-supported platform for sustainable food innovations; and DarkBoot Group, a private equity firm involved in Gavan’s incubation. The proceeds will be used to establish a new pilot production facility in Europe and expand Gavan’s commercial presence in Europe with focus on the bakery and dairy sectors. The site, planned to commence operations in April, 2025 will feature a state-of-the-art production line for Gavan’s alternative fat solution. Fatrix is designed to help food manufacturers reach a superior nutriscore for their product by reducing total fat and especially saturated fat content. Using Fatrix as a fat source reduces dependency on animal fats and awards exceptional sensory value as well as cleaning the label from undesired emulsifiers. Like Butter Fatrix is a multifunctional plant-based fat developed by the foodTech visionaries at Gavan and can act as a one-to-one replacement for butter in a comprehensive range of bakery products and dairy alternatives. Its all-natural fat formula is composed of three simple ingredients: protein isolate, vegetable oil, and water, formulated into a high-performance gel. Gavan’s patented technology enables the protein to perform as an optimal binder for the water and oil. This results in a smooth, stable, and flavorless emulsion. It also has a very low content of saturated fats and zero trans fats as it is not hydrogenated. Fatrix is already approved for market, and does not require novel foods regulatory approval. “This funding round opens the door for Gavan to enter the European food market, where we can quickly make a positive impact. Our new, fully EU-certified facility is planned to go commercial as early as April next year,” declares Itai Cohen, Gavan’s co-founder and CEO.   Fatrix fills the market gap for a clean-label fat substitute that is craveworthy, highly functional, and affordable. “It is neutral in flavor, odorless, and highly versatile, making it possible to create any texture required,” adds Cohen. "It maintains stability and water- and fat-holding capacity even under processing conditions of high heat and physical pressure.”   Fatrix is a scalable and cost efficient fat solution that has demonstrated its capacity for creating indulgent buttery sensations across multiple bakery products like brioche and croissants. It adds functional value to dairy analogs such as whipping creams, cooking creams, cream cheeses, and puddings without the need for added thickeners or stabilizers. It also allows for cleaner, more consumer-friendly labels. Gavan’s zero-waste platform is compatible with a diverse range of plant-based oils and legumes allowing it to provide tailored solutions to meet specific customer preferences or application requirements. “Fat plays an essential role in the creation of almost all foods. It gives depth to flavors, elevates textures, and enhances the dining experience in general,” adds Rony Patishi-Chillim, Venture Partner of MoreVC. “The food industry is in need of a plant-based fat that can provide the same indulgent flavor and mouthfeel as butter, while supporting sustainability and personal well-being. Gavan’s unique fat creation platform is market-ready and has the potential to make a truly meaningful contribution to the USD253B fats and oils market.” “As early investors in the alternative protein space, we’ve evaluated countless fat solutions aiming to replace butter or animal fats,” says James Caffyn, Partner at Lever VC. “Gavan’s platform stands out as the most compelling, offering a unique ability to partner with large corporates while achieving capital-efficient scaling and competitive unit economics. These qualities position Fatrix® as a game-changer in the move towards healthier and cleaner-label foods.” About Gavan Founded in 2018, Gavan Technologies, Ltd. specializes in the development of functional ingredients for the food industry. With a strong emphasis on sustainability, Gavan offers plant-based protein extraction technology as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional animal-derived products.

  • Thailand's Food and Ingredients Industry Expands as Exports Exceed Expectations

    Thai exports hit record $300.53 billion in 2024, with 2-3% growth expected in 2025. Informa Markets highlights Thailand’s frozen and processed food sector as a rising star and is set to elevate ProPak Asia 2025 as a premier trade and business platform for the regional food industry. Industry professionals and leading companies will showcase the latest innovations in food processing and manufacturing technologies. The event is expected to attract over 80,000 attendees, with trade deals exceeding 5.5 billion baht. Mr. Sanchai Noombunnam, Country General Manager at Informa Markets Thailand, highlighted the recovery and growth trends in Thailand’s food industry. In 2024, the sector experienced a significant rebound, aligning with data from the Trade Policy and Strategy Office under the Ministry of Commerce. Thai exports reached a record-high $300.53 billion, growing by 5.4%. Agricultural and agro-industrial exports expanded by 6.0%, with agricultural products rising by 10.7% and agro-industrial products by 6.7%. Despite ongoing global uncertainties in 2025-such as U.S. trade policies, prolonged geopolitical tensions, exchange rate fluctuations, and climate change-several positive economic indicators remain. These include projected global GDP growth of 2.7%, strong economic expansion in ASEAN (a key trading partner for Thailand), declining inflation, and rising demand for agricultural products for both raw materials and consumption. Key food categories expected to see continued growth include chilled and processed chicken, canned and processed seafood, frozen and dried fruits, pet food, ready-to-eat foods, and canned and processed fruits. However, businesses must continue to enhance their products and production processes by leveraging research, modern technology, and innovation. This will help improve quality, safety standards, and nutritional value while driving the development of future foods to meet evolving consumer demands. Additionally, adopting sustainable and eco-friendly production processes and business practices is crucial to aligning with the BCG economy model for sustainable growth. This approach supports the government’s efforts to expand trade opportunities and establish new free trade agreements (FTAs) with emerging markets and economic zones. Thailand recently finalized an FTA with the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and is accelerating negotiations on several others, including agreements with the European Union (EU), South Korea, Bhutan, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and ASEAN-Canada. These FTAs are expected to bring significant benefits to Thailand’s food industry and export sector. Informa Markets Thailand, the organizer of ProPak Asia, one of Asia’s leading exhibitions showcasing innovations and technologies in machinery and solutions for production processes, processing, packaging, and more across the food, processed food, beverage, and packaging industries, has elevated ProPak Asia 2025 to a key platform for business collaboration, trade negotiations, investments, and building partnerships. The event will also serve as a gateway connecting the food processing and production industries in the region, providing opportunities to share and exchange the latest global knowledge, innovations, and technologies with industry professionals. The theme for ProPak Asia 2025 is "Carbon-Neutral Pathways to a Sustainable Processing and Packaging Ecosystem." This focus aims to develop strategies that reduce or offset carbon dioxide emissions to achieve carbon neutrality across all stages of production, processing, and packaging. The initiative emphasizes long-term sustainability, including reducing carbon emissions in production processes, using environmentally friendly packaging materials, managing waste, and considering the product life cycle. It also promotes the circular economy by designing products that can be reused or recycled, while encouraging partnerships to collectively reduce carbon emissions throughout the entire process. ProPak Asia 2025 is not only an exhibition featuring advanced solutions from leading global manufacturers of technology and innovations in manufacturing, processing, raw materials, packaging design and production, along with professionals from across the industry, but it also supports the sustainable growth of the manufacturing industry in the region. The event provides opportunities for attendees from around the world to connect with new business partners. ProPak Asia 2025 will be held from 11-14 June 2025, at the Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC) in Bangna, Bangkok.
