About InsektProtein
InsektProtein appears to be the public-facing name associated with ENORM Biofactory, a Danish insect-protein producer focused on turning low-value biomass into higher-value ingredients for feed and food. ENORM describes its Black Soldier Fly larvae as a way to upcycle residual streams from the food industry into nutritious and sustainable ingredients. (dlg.dk)
The company positions itself as part of a circular, climate-oriented food system. Its materials emphasize reducing pressure on natural resources by converting food-industry residuals into protein, oil, and fiber, with applications in animal feed and, more broadly, food-system sustainability.

ENORM Biofactory is based in Flemming, Denmark, and its contact page lists the company address, main phone number, and general inquiry email. (enormbiofactory.com)
Core Values
- Circularity: ENORM’s model is built around upcycling residual biomass from the food industry into new ingredients, rather than relying only on conventional raw materials. (enormbiofactory.com)
- Sustainability: The company explicitly links its work to climate change, resource efficiency, and more sustainable food production. (enormbiofactory.com)
- Local value creation: ENORM emphasizes local production and turning low-value inputs into higher-value ingredients that can support domestic supply chains. (dlg.dk)
- Innovation in agriculture: The company frames insect production as a new form of agriculture with parallels to conventional farming, but adapted to industrial side streams and modern processing. (dlg.dk)
Unique Aspects
- Nordic scale: DLG states that ENORM Biofactory is opening Denmark’s first commercial insect production and that it will be the largest in the Nordics. (dlg.dk)
- Strong industry backing: DLG says it is a co-owner of ENORM Biofactory, and ENORM’s own press materials describe a financing round of DKK 370 million to establish the facility. (dlg.dk)
- Feed-market focus: ENORM says its proteins can be used in feed for fish, pigs, poultry, and pets, and can replace imported protein sources. (dlg.dk)
- Integrated processing model: The company describes a full chain from larvae rearing to pasteurization and processing into protein, fat, and fiber, which supports a more complete use of the biomass. (dlg.dk)
