Pluri Inc. (Nasdaq: PLUR) has announced that its majority-owned food-tech portfolio company, Ever After Foods Ltd. (EAF), has acquired Fishway BV, a Belgium-based biotechnology company.
The acquisition aims to enhance EAF's capabilities in the cultivated-protein sector by integrating Fishway's expertise in aquatic cell biology and animal-component-free media development into its existing bioprocess and manufacturing platform.
This strategic move is expected to broaden EAF's range of applications in cultivated-protein technology, aligning with its goal to advance its open manufacturing platform.
"Fishway adds strong capabilities in aquatic cell biology and animal-component-free media that complement Ever After Foods' production platform and expand the range of applications we can support. This is an important first step in executing our broader platform strategy,” said Eyal Rosenthal, CEO of Ever After Foods.
