Steakholder Foods Ltd. (Nasdaq: STKH) (the “Company”), a leading
innovator in alternative proteins production and 3D printing
technologies, shared a letter from its CEO, Mr. Arik Kaufman,
providing updates as the Company enters 2025, as follows:
Dear Shareholders,
As we commence 2025, I am writing to share our
progress during what was both a demanding and transformative year
for Steakholder Foods. Despite challenging local circumstances and
global market uncertainties, we have achieved significant
milestones in our commercialization journey and laid important
groundwork for our future growth.
Commercial ProgressI am pleased to report that
we have made substantial progress in our commercialization
strategy. We secured our first purchase order from Bondor Foods for
our SH™ – Fish premix blends in September, followed by an order
from Wyler Farm for our SH™ – Beef premix blend, leading to the
planned launch of the "Whaat Meat?! by Steakholder" product line.
These agreements mark crucial steps toward establishing recurring
revenue streams, which we anticipate will begin materializing in
the near term.
Market ValidationOur technology and products
received significant validation at the Plant-Based World Expo in
London, Europe's largest plant-based exposition. We were honored to
receive three prestigious awards:
- Gold Award for our Salmon Patty
- Silver Award for our Fish Kebab
- Bronze Award for our Beef Alternative
Infrastructure DevelopmentA key milestone this
year was the opening of our first full-scale Demonstration Center.
This state-of-the-art facility demonstrates our MX200 and HD144
printers in a production environment, providing potential partners
with firsthand experience of our technology's capabilities.
Strategic PartnershipsWe have strengthened our
global presence through several strategic collaborations:
- Partnership with UMAMI Bioworks in Singapore for cultivated
seafood development
- Agreement with Vegefarm Co. Ltd. in Taiwan for our 3D printing
technology
- Ongoing collaboration with ITRI, supported by SIIRD grant
funding
U.S. Market Entry InitiativeAs we enter 2025,
our primary strategic focus is establishing a strong presence and
position in the U.S. market. We have recently appointed Saar
Bracha, who brings many years of experience in the U.S. market
development, to lead this crucial initiative, as well as signing an
agreement to engage Nexum Group, a leading strategy development,
strategic positioning and brand consulting firm, with a vast
network in the U.S food industry.
Mr. Bracha and I have just completed an
intensive two-week business development tour across the United
States, engaging in promising discussions with potential partners
and industry leaders, with the highlight having our plant-based
meat prepared and served by celebrity chef David Burke in one of
his New York City’s known restaurant, to great acclaim.
Our U.S. market strategy encompasses:
- Establishing partnerships with leading food manufacturers and
distributors.
- Developing products which are tailored to U.S. consumer
preferences.
- Building a robust local supply chain and distribution
network.
Research and DevelopmentWe continue to advance
our core technologies:
- Enhancing our Drop Location in Space (DLS) technology for
alternative seafood applications.
- Advancing our Fused Paste Layering (FPL) technology for meat
alternatives.
- Receiving USD 490,000 in SIIRD grant funding for innovation in
3D-printed hybrid fish.
Financial ManagementWe maintain a disciplined
approach to financial management while investing in strategic
growth initiatives. With our first commercial agreements in place
and ongoing discussions with potential partners, we are
well-positioned to begin generating revenue in the coming months as
these partnerships mature.
Looking AheadWhile 2024 presented significant
challenges, we have emerged stronger and more focused. Our
commercial agreements, international recognition, and progress
toward U.S. market entry, provides a solid foundation for growth in
2025. We anticipate that our current partnerships will begin
generating revenue in the near term, marking an important milestone
in our company's development.
I want to acknowledge our employees for their
unwavering dedication during this challenging year. Their
resilience and commitment have been extraordinary. Similarly, I
thank you, our shareholders, for your continued support and trust
in our vision.
We remain focused on our mission to transform
the future of food production while building long-term shareholder
value. I look forward to updating you on our progress during
2025.
Best regards,
Arik Kaufman Chief Executive Officer
