Enabling Sustainable Protein Production
At Felm, we are dedicated to transforming the food industry with advanced analytical solutions for insect protein production. Our mission is to support our partners in creating clean and sustainable protein sources, contributing to a greener future.
We develop quality and quantity analytics for autonomous, large scale operations
Detecting contamination in insect protein and monitoring output quality presents several unsolved challenges, such as the lack of automation, expensive processes, and labor-intensive tests. Additionally, there is a need for a highly qualified workforce, no process integration, and time-intensive reactions. The use of fragile devices and hazardous chemicals further complicates the situation, adding to the operational complexity. The goal of Felm is to create a unified solution for the qualitative and quantitative analytical challenges of insect manufacturers
Felm aims to develop a technology that provides reliable qualitative and quantitative data while integrating seamlessly with existing continuous processes. It is designed to fit the requirements of large-scale manufacturing sites, replacing mundane and costly tasks with efficient solutions. The technology seeks to reduce testing times, enhance safety, and offer insect protein manufacturers a more advanced and sustainable approach to production analysis.

This chart projects the continuous and steady growth of the insect protein market in Europe from 2019 to 2031. As Europe is a net protein importer, the livestock sector heavily relies on external protein sources. However, due to concerns surrounding food security, safety policies, and sustainability, the demand for alternative solutions, including insect protein, is expected to rise significantly. The primary growth market will be animal feed, supported by the European Union’s sustainability goals and substantial investments, including the establishment of insect protein production facilities. Felm supports this evolving market by providing quality analytics to promote safe and sustainable protein production processes.
