We Are Flora Professional

For a Better Plant-Based Future

Our passion is to help food service professionals, from chefs to bakers and baristas to adopt their menus towards more plant-based dishes that are good for their kitchen, diners, and our planet. We develop plant-based products and solutions centred on the requirements of different food service outlets, from a pizza and pasta restaurant to coffee shops, bakeries, hotels, caterers, and food manufacturers.

The Future of food industry

We are passionate about taste – and how our mission supports channels to be more sustainable and conscious of ESG (Environmental Social and Governance).

Today we are a global community of insurgents, innovators, and foodies. We are challenging our food system to be more sustainable, innovative, vibrant, and delicious. We are dedicated to creating tasty and sustainable alternatives to butters, creams, cheeses, and fats to be reliable replacements for dairy in any dish.

  

Butter and cream alternatives for foodservice

Originally comprised of four margarine companies from the Netherlands, we formed Margarine Unie and existed as such up until the 1930s. Then we joined the British Lever Brothers, merging to become the global Unilever. In 2017 we returned to our roots in Rotterdam as plant-based pioneers, expertly crafting dairy alternatives. This was the start of a new generation.

We are passionate about our ingredients, made for the heart of every professional kitchen.

“We are the authority in this category and have some of the most recognised and loved brands in the industry. This inspires our team of leaders and Associates while our values focus us” – Group CEO, David Haines.

We are for everyone, from chefs to nutritionists, farmers to civil society and governments; together we are championing for A Better Plant-Based Future with sustainable plant-based ingredients. We are Generation Plant.

A force for change

The future of food is plant-based

That’s why we work with the global food service community to ensure that chefs, bakers, and baristas are confidently equipped to build delicious plant-based dishes into their menus.

Our global population is creeping up to 10 billion. We just can’t sustain our current rate of consumption, plus diners’ needs are changing. With more conscious consumers, there is increased demand for specialised dishes that cater to ethical values, dietary restrictions, and health concerns – all of which plant-based is a solution for.

Everyone in food service has a part to play in driving the change needed to build a sustainable food system, which are responsible for a third of global greenhouse gas emissions1. We are here to make cooking plant-based simple, so we can work towards a healthier future. Simple ingredients, used by experts, to create dishes that will keep customers coming back for more.

Work with us to achieve a sustainable food service industry. Let’s build A Better Plant-Based Future that is better for our health, better for the planet, and totally delicious.
