A Partner Beyond the Ingredient
We believe better protein solutions start with understanding more than just the ingredient. At ATURA,
we combine scientific insight, application expertise and commercial thinking to create protein
solutions that perform for consumers and for business.
From nutritional performance and formulation to taste, texture, supply and scale, we work
alongside our customers to turn protein potential into commercially viable products.
The Journey So Far
A decade building plant protein from the ground up.Our journey begins with a pilot line in Somerset to now, a full-scale production facility.
Discover our key milestones:
-
Founded
Pilot trails begin to formulate how to create the ATURA product range. The original Bason Bridge site was acquired and construction was set to begin.
-
The Foundations of Deltagen
Siteworks start, by removing the previous structure and beginning to set new foundations in 2016. Construction of the new Deltagen production site starts and officially opens in April 2019.
-
The launch of ATURA Proteins
Excitingly, the ATURA range of Chickpea, Fava Bean and Red Lentil proteins and flours goes commercial, enabling a new era of plant origin proteins into the market.
-
Expanding Our Protein Capability
Site extension of our UK facility starts, allowing us to bring more production capabilities in-house, increased capacity, a more resilient supply and greater flexibility for customer-specific protein solutions.
-
Extension complete & solar installed
Our footprint grows by 3,000m across two new buildings & our sustainability efforts grow, with the installation of solar panels on-site, contributing to our net zero commitments.
Protein expertise, Backed by Science
We believe better protein solutions start with better understanding.
That’s why we work with academic institutions and scientific partners to deepen our understanding of plant-origin proteins and their role in nutrition and food formulation.
Our research looks beyond protein content alone, exploring the characteristics that matter in real-world applications – from nutritional performance and functionality to sensory properties and consumer acceptance.
This evidence-led approach helps us develop our own expertise while giving our customers greater confidence when making protein decisions.

Your Challenge. Our Expertise.
We don’t believe successful protein innovation happens in isolation.
Our technical and application teams work collaboratively alongside your R&D, technical, procurement and commercial teams to understand the challenge from any angle. From formulation challenges or goals, explore the right protein solution and support development across a range of food and beverage applications.
We support with technical guidance and formulation insight to application concepts and recipe development and help turn ideas into products that work.
Responsible supply, reliable performance.
At ATURA, supplier selection is central to how we operate. We work closely with growers to meet our extremely high standards, giving you confidence in the quality, consistency and availability of the protein you depend on.
Our approach follows the full journey from crop to the finished ingredient, with traceability and quality control built in at every stage.
European manufacturing gives us a strong foundation for consistent output, and a diversified sourcing base builds resilience as demand grows.
