Our story
Our vision
At INVEJA, we already know that tomorrow’s good will be plant-based.
Consumers expect food that is tasty, healthy, and sustainable. The plant-based transition is underway and eating has become a committed act: protecting your health while preserving the environment. The future is in the field!
INVEJA, therefore, offers the food industry (IAA) a range of nutri-functional solutions based on plant proteins. Plant-based raw materials, mainly from Terrena’s supply chains and selected for their quality. Solutions combining performance and confidence.
Our objective is to help you develop products that meet the expectations of today’s and tomorrow’s market: eating well every day.
Our mission
INVEJA was born in 2015 from the merger between LIVRAC, a specialist in plant-based ingredient mixes, and LUP’INGREDIENTS, the European lupin expert, two activities of the TERRENA cooperative group. In 2017, FRANK FOOD PRODUCTS joined INVEJA as an expert in soy and lupin processing and specialty ingredients.
The union is our strength. We have more than 250 years of experience in the field of plant-based products! Our expertise and know-how are based on the complementarity of three production sites in France (Haute-Goulaine and Martigné-Ferchaud) and the Netherlands (Twello). Together, we have more than 50 enthusiastic employees and a turnover of around €20M.
Our name, INVEJA, sums up our mission: inventing plant-based ingredients. INVEJA creates solutions from plant-based ingredients: lupin, wheat, millet, soy, quinoa, and other plant-based protein sources. And this for a wide range of applications: bakery, pastry, drinks, dairy substitutes, meat substitutes, fish, diet/sports food, cosmetics…
INVEJA is positioned as a leading player in the market. Our ambition is to help you develop products and solutions that are tailored to your needs.
Our name INVEJA sums up our missions: to invent plant-based ingredients and our know-how within the TERRENA cooperative group. We create solutions based on plant-derived ingredients and we are developing our expertise in the sector as part of the New Agriculture promoted by TERRENA.
