Beyond Meat opens state-of-the-art innovation center
The new facility is broken into eight distinct labs and footprints, with an emphasis on consumer engagement and learnings.
Beyond Meat opened the doors of a new 26,000-square-foot research and development center at the company’s El Segundo, Calif., headquarters. The new facility, which houses nearly 100 employees, is the new home to Beyond Meat’s Manhattan Beach Project, which is designed to bring together the world’s best scientists, engineers, food technologists, chefs and managers to build meat directly from plants.
Seven times the size of its existing facility, the Innovation Center supports the company’s Rapid & Relentless Innovation initiative, the goal of which is to continuously iterate the company’s products until they are indistinguishable from their animal protein equivalent.
