Australian Plant Proteins

Australian Plant Proteins (APP) is an Australian manufacturer of plant protein ingredients, based in Horsham, Victoria. The company processes locally sourced pulses into protein isolate powders for food and beverage manufacturers, positioning itself as a supplier of clean, functional plant proteins that are suitable for a wide range of applications. APP emphasizes sustainability alongside product performance. Its website highlights the environmental advantages of pulse-based proteins, including lower resource use than many animal proteins and the agronomic benefits of pulses as nitrogen-fixing crops that can improve soil health. In March 2025, APP was acquired by My Co., the investment vehicle of the Paule Family Office, after entering voluntary administration in 2024. According to later reporting, the business resumed operations and continued serving B2B customers, with a focus on maintaining its existing process and quality standards.
