Kern Tec

Kern Tec is an Austria based upcycling and food tech company. With tech- and supply chain innovation Kern Tec is able to turn industrial byproducts into high value ingredients for the food & beverage industry but also for cosmetic and industrial applications. Kern Tec is committed to bring unique plant based ingredients and products to the global food market created from pits from apricots, cherries and plums. These raw materials were previously seen as a side product in the global production, but with Kern Tec's technologies they can be processed into tasty, sustainable, nutritious and safe products like food & cosmetic oils, protein powders, "nut" spreads and even dairy alternatives. The seeds can be called as the most sustainable nuts that ever existed with plenty of applications and opportunities to come. With a team of 40+ Kern Tec has been able to successfully upcycle over 1.000.000 kg of fruit pits and is heavily investing in scaling the processes and bringing the technologies to whole Europe and beyond. But this is just the beginning.
