AgriProtein, rebranded as Insect Technology Group, is one of the leading firms in insect technology and fly farming. The holding company owns different consumer-facing companies as Circular Organics™ that converts the animal feed-grade substrates into premium protein, lipid and chitin products for use as animal feed ingredients.

The Belgian company Millibeter has been acquired by Circular Organics™, which also owns the insect company AgriProtein. Millibeter is now part of this group and will be rebranded as Circular Organics™ that will recycle agricultural by-products and organic waste into protein, oil and soil products for feed, food, and other applications.

The nine Millibeter team members have already joined the Circular Organics™ operational team in Europe as the company expands its existing site and gears up to deliver a number of factories in Europe over the coming two years. The R&D team has also increased by eight people, under-lining the group commitment to R&D in Europe. The team will work closely with other research teams across the Insect Technology Group™ to improve production efficiencies and add value to insect-derived products for its customers. The company will maintain its involvement in a number of projects including InDirect (Horizon2020), Kempen Insect Cluster (European Regional Development Fund) and the PPILOW.
