FAQs

We are one of the first companies in Singapore to provide a shared facility for small-batch production and testing.

There is a current gap in the market pertaining to the availability of food processing equipment for small-batch production at a pay-per-use basis. The current options that are available in the market for companies to test the viability of their food products either result in high upfront costs or require minimum order quantity.

We hope to bridge this gap for local food players of all levels - startups, SMEs, and MNCs alike, by providing upstream and downstream support for small-batch production and testing.

FoodPlant enables local food players to test, develop, and scale the rollout of new food products, post-R&D. By working with us, you will gain access to our industry expertise, specialised equipment, as well as a suite of training courses to deepen the technical capabilities and skills of your company.
