Plant-based food company Above Food Corp. was founded in 2020 to deliver dense, nutritious, sustainable and superior food products. The company focuses on a supply chain from “field-to-fork” to ensure that customers understand the complete journey of their food. Above Food maintains a chain of custody of their plant proteins throughout the foodproduction value chain, delivering food to customers and consumers at affordable prices. The company sources its proteins and ingredients, which include peas, lentils, fava beans, oats and chickpeas, only from the highest-quality producers in the world. The company has created its own technology for producing world-class texture and flavor of plant-based foods. These trademarked manufacturing technologies include TXTexturized Xtrusion and Precision Flavouring, both created to address the most important variables of plant-based foods, which are taste and texture.The company has also acquired two companies producing world-class oat-based food products: Only Oats and Culcherd - Dairy Alternatives, enabling Above Food to meet the rising demand for oat milk and other plant-based dairy products and meats. The company’s leaders have extensive experience stretching across the entirety of the complex food production ecosystem. Four food industry veterans co-founded the company. They are Lionel Kambeitz, CEO and Executive Chairman, Donato Sferra, Executive VP, Mergers & Acquisitions and Corporate Development, Tyler West, CEO and President of Purely Canada Foods Corp., and Martin Williams, President and Chief Innovation Officer of Above Food Brands.
