The company uses advanced scientific techniques to create food products that mimic the taste, texture, and appearance of meat, without the use of animals.

Read full description
Motif FoodWorks serves a diverse range of clients, including food service providers, distributors, and retailers who operate private labels. Their business model revolves around the creation and sale of these innovative, plant-based ingredients, which are new to the market and enhance the consumer eating experience.
The company's unique selling point is its ability to recreate the texture of animal tissue using plants, resulting in plant-based meat with the springy, juicy chew that consumers crave. They achieve this through a process of analyzing, discovering, and designing differently, using deep technical and consumer insights to create plant-based breakthroughs in record time.
In terms of revenue, Motif FoodWorks makes money by selling their plant-based ingredients to clients who then use them in their own food products. This approach allows the company to tap into the growing consumer demand for more sustainable and nutritious food options, while also offering a unique, high-quality product that stands out in the market.
