Pioneering sustainable mycoprotein from industrial side streams through Finnish fermentation science.
Enifer was founded in 2020 by scientists from VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland to revive and modernize the legendary PEKILO® process — originally developed in the 1970s. Today, Enifer transforms food industry side streams into nutritious, sustainable mycoprotein ingredients.
Headquartered in Espoo, the company is building Europe's first industrial mycoprotein facility, set to become a cornerstone of Finland's circular bioeconomy.
Food industry residues from dairy, brewing, and agriculture enter the system.
PEKILO® microfungus cultivates on side streams in controlled bioreactors.
Premium mycoprotein is harvested with high protein and fiber content.
Ingredients delivered to food and pet nutrition manufacturers globally.
Converts agricultural side streams that would otherwise be discarded.
Drastically lower water consumption compared to animal protein.
Up to 95% smaller carbon footprint than conventional protein sources.
Finnish manufacturing reduces supply chain emissions and dependencies.
