Cultivated meat producer opens new pilot facility to scale cultivated pork

17 November 2023

Meatable has opened a new facility in the Netherlands, to further scale up cultivated pork development.

The new pilot facility is double the size of its previous office and lab space, enabling it to increase its bioreactor capacity from 50L to 200L and later to 500L, and ensure it has the space to test and produce large volumes of its cultivated pork products. 

The new facility marks an important step towards commercialising Meatable’s cultivated pork products. Its location in the University area of Leiden ensures proximity to expert knowledge and state-of-the-art facilities which will help it expand its development capacity in preparation for a commercial launch in Singapore in 2024. 

In recent months there have been some positive developments in the field of cultured meat. In July, the Netherlands became the first EU member state to give the green light to enable cultivated meat tastings, following the US earlier this year which permitted two companies to market cultured meat. More regulatory developments are expected in 2024.
