Protix B.V.

Protix is a Dutch company that produces natural and sustainable ingredients from insects. The black soldier fly plays a significant role in this. The feed for the larvae of this fly consists of plant-based residues from vegetables and fruit from the environment. The larvae grow quickly and are rich in protein and fat. These are high-quality nutrients that are processed into feed for pets, fish, and chickens among others. This closes the food loop. These ingredients are a more sustainable option than traditional food sources such as soy, fishmeal, and palm oil. The residues left by insects, such as faeces and skins, are rich in chitin and form a natural fertilizer.

In addition to the intended impact, Invest-NL is positive about the opportunities to further scale up the company and the market, both nationally and internationally. The involvement of professional co-financiers provides Invest-NL with additional confidence.
