ABN AMRO Sustainable Impact Fund (ABN AMRO SIF) has co-led an investment round of nearly EUR 24 million in Revyve, a Dutch food-tech scale-up, together with Invest-NL. Participants in the investment round included existing investors such as Oost NL and Roayl Cosun, as well as new investors Brabantse Ontwikkelingsmaatschappij, Grey Silo Ventures and Lallemand Bio Ingredients.

In 2024, Revyve commissioned its first-of-a-kind (FOAK) production facility in Dinteloord, the Netherlands. Already running at capacity for several customers, the site has proven the company’s ability to produce and sell industrial volumes. With this new investment, Revyve will expand output to over 1,600 tons per year, ensuring reliable supply for global accounts. The investment will accelerate the Revyve’s commercial rollout of functional yeast proteins designed to replace eggs and additives in mainstream food categories. The production of this product is supporting ABN AMRO’s ambition to transition towards a more sustainable society.

Hanna Zwietering, ABN AMRO SIF Senior Investment Manager: “We are excited to partner with Revyve as they pioneer pressing sustainable alternatives to traditional egg ingredients. Their solution addresses a critical need in the food transition: scalable ingredients with a low environmental footprint and compelling economics for food manufacturers. We believe this combination of commercial viability and measurable sustainable benefits makes Revyve uniquely positioned to grow into a global leader. We look forward to supporting their journey.”

Cedric Verstraeten, CEO of Revyve: “Food manufacturers are cutting back on eggs to offset increasing prices and reach sustainability targets, but replicating their unique functionality is crucial to maintaining the texture and mouthfeel consumers are used to. This is exactly where our Yeast Proteins come in, providing an affordable and clean label solution for egg replacement or egg reduction. This funding round marks a tipping point for us: allowing us to modularly scale production and branch out to more food categories and serve our sustainable solutions to larger customers worldwide”
