NRPT Partners with Impossible Foods to Position Thailand as Asia-Pacific Plant-Based Meat Production Hub

Nutra Regenerative Protein (NRPT), a food venture of the PTT Group, has announced a major strategic partnership with Impossible Foods, the global leader in plant-based meat innovation from the United States. Thailand's plant-based meat production facility will serve as the primary manufacturing hub for the Asia-Pacific region, supporting the region's growing future food market.

NRPT manufactures and develops plant-based meat products using international-standard technology and production processes. The facility is the first 100% plant-based meat factory in Asia-Pacific to achieve BRCGS Plant-based Level A+ certification for plant-based food production and distribution for three consecutive years—a global food safety and quality standard recognized by leading international retailers and food brands. The company is capable of developing diverse product lines.

Impossible Foods is a developer and distributor of plant-based meat products with the highest market share in the United States and ranks among the world's top five largest plant-based meat manufacturers. The company's key innovation is heme (soy leghemoglobin), a proprietary protein extracted from soybean roots that gives the products a taste, color, and aroma nearly identical to real meat.

"The company plans to expand into the Asia-Pacific market with initial distribution volumes of approximately 500,000 kilograms per year in the region."

This partnership reflects Impossible Foods' confidence in Nutra's potential as an international manufacturing and product development partner for future food. Production and distribution in Thailand have already begun, with exports now reaching Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong.
