Plento is a groundbreaking startup poised to revolutionize the snack industry in South East Asia, particularly in Thailand and Singapore. This innovative venture brings a unique approach to snacking by integrating unconventional ingredients whilst balancing nutrition, indulgence, and sustainability.
The inception of Plento can be traced back to a team of food specialists in South East Asia. These experts, known for their previous successes in bringing insect-based packaged products to the market, have now ventured into a novel combination. Plento merges plant-based proteins with insect proteins (Plant+Ento), harnessing the strengths of both sources.
Plento’s journey gained momentum with the support of Brinc, a leading startup accelerator. This backing provided Plento with valuable incubation opportunities in Hong Kong, where they accessed top-tier mentorship and state-of-the-art laboratory facilities. Moreover, the Singaporean government played a pivotal role in the product development phase conducted in the renowned FIRC laboratories. FIRC is Singapore’s epicentre of food innovation, offering comprehensive technical solutions in food product development, including formulation and process development, shelf life testing, sensory evaluation, and pilot production.
Plento, established in 2019 and based in Singapore, is dedicated to revolutionizing snack consumption by blending plant-based and insect proteins. The company focuses on using simple, easy-to-understand ingredients that resonate with consumers and are eco-friendly, boasting a significantly reduced carbon footprint.
With its strategic location in Singapore, Plento benefits from access to a diverse array of sustainable, health-conscious, and cost-effective ingredients. This advantage enables the company to combine plant and insect proteins seamlessly, offering consumers a unique snacking experience.
Plento envisions a future where every desired food item aligns with the ideals of health, nutrition, and flavor.
