Bravida has been given responsibility for several installations as Lantmannen invests SEK 1.2 billion in a new plant-based protein facility in Lidkoping, which is the largest investment of its kind in Sweden. Lantmannen Biorefineries' new facility will process peas and fava beans to create plant-based protein (known as protein isolate) for use in foodstuffs. Each year, around 35,000 tonnes of peas and 5,000 tonnes of fava beans will be converted into around 7,000 tonnes of protein isolate.
The investment will help increase pea cultivation in Sweden by 50% and reduce the need for imported soya, thereby enabling food production that is more sustainable. Bravida's assignment includes an extensive range of technical installations in the new facility, for example electricity, plumbing, HVAC, control and sprinkler systems, as well as process electricity and district heating connections.
