Green Boy Group, a multinational supplier specialising in plant-based, non-GMO, and organic food ingredients, is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Founded on 25 August 2016, the company has evolved from a pioneering startup into a key supply chain partner for manufacturers across North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, Japan, and Australia.
The milestone highlights the company’s role in what it terms the "Plant-Based Food Reformation," scaling its operations to meet the growing global appetite for alternative proteins and functional ingredients.
Operational Scale and Global Footprint
Over the past decade, Green Boy has built a significant logistical infrastructure to support the transition of global food portfolios. The company now operates five global offices located in Amsterdam, Los Angeles, Chicago, Hong Kong, and Sydney.
This network is supported by a robust supply chain comprising:
25+ Warehouses: Strategically positioned to facilitate distribution.
Supplier Network: Over 60 ingredient suppliers spanning more than 35 countries.
Green Boy’s growth has been underpinned by a full-service business model that manages the entire lifecycle of the ingredient, from sourcing at origin and product processing to global logistics and formulation support.
Market Context: The Shift to Plant-Based Portfolios
The anniversary comes as global food manufacturers increasingly adjust their product lines to include plant-based alternatives. Green Boy reports year-over-year increases in demand across its core portfolio, including starches, syrups, proteins, fibres, and oils.
Frederik Otten, Co-Founder of Green Boy, reflected on the company's early market entry:
"Ten years ago, we were one of the first that were solely plant-based and exclusively non-GMO and organic. Now, 10 years later, we are recognised as one of the market leaders in the plant-based space across the US, Europe, Southeast Asia, and Australia."
Peter van Dijken, Co-Founder of Green Boy, emphasised the company's role in facilitating hybrid and fully plant-based innovation:
"As a member of the larger supply chain of the whole food industry, Green Boy offering plant-based ingredients to food manufacturers so they can build food products that are either hybrid or completely plant-based is how we are leading the Plant-Based Food Reformation day after day. We are providing consumers everywhere with a viable alternative offer that helps both people and planet."
As it enters its second decade, the group remains focused on accelerating the global transition towards a more equitable and sustainable food system.
