Pluri product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Pluri develops and commercializes a patented three-dimensional (3D) cell expansion technology platform used to manufacture placenta-derived allogeneic cell therapy product candidates (PLX-R18 and PLX-PAD), a placental MAIT cell immunotherapy platform, and proprietary contract development and manufacturing (CDMO) services for cell-based therapies. The same platform supports subsidiary and joint-venture products in cultivated meat (Ever After Foods), cultivated cacao (Kokomodo), cell-based coffee (Coffeesai), and exosome-based regenerative skincare (Cellav), alongside cryogenic supply chain services (FreezOnTime).
Product overview
Pluri operates as a biotechnology company with a patented 3D cell expansion technology platform that enables manufacturing of cell-based products across multiple industries. The company functions through distinct business verticals: PluriHealth (regenerative medicine with PLX-R18 and PLX-PAD cell therapy products), PluriFood (cultivated meat through Ever After Foods joint venture), PluriAgtech (cell-based coffee via Coffeesai and cacao via Kokomodo subsidiary), and PluriCDMO (contract manufacturing services). The portfolio includes wholly-owned subsidiaries such as Cellav (exosome-based skincare with Regenativo+ and Placento+ products) and the FreezOnTime cryogenic logistics service. The platform supports both allogeneic off-the-shelf cell therapies and cultivated food/agtech products.

Products and services
- PluriCDMO Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) service offering full-service manufacturing support for cell-based therapies, from preclinical development through clinical and commercial production. Provides cell isolation, process development, scale-up, GMP manufacturing, cryopreservation, storage, and global logistics for pharmaceutical and biotech customers.
- PLX-R18 Placenta-derived allogeneic cell therapy product candidate for the treatment of Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS) and hematological disorders, including poor graft function after hematopoietic cell transplantation. PLX-R18 stimulates bone marrow to generate all three blood cell lines and has received FDA Orphan Drug Designation and IND clearance.
- PLX-PAD Placenta-derived stromal cell therapy product candidate for the treatment of critical limb ischemia and knee osteoarthritis, with demonstrated increases in muscle strength in clinical studies and hypothesized to induce systemic anti-inflammatory effects.
- Ever After Foods (Cultivated Meat Joint Venture) Joint venture with Tnuva Group, Israel's largest food producer, to produce cultivated meat products at scale using Pluri's 3D cell expansion technology for affordable and sustainable animal protein alternatives.
- Kokomodo Cultivated Cacao Cultivated cacao produced in controlled bioreactor environments using proprietary cellular agriculture technology to deliver consistent, high-quality cacao without land-intensive farming, targeting gourmet chocolate and functional wellness markets.
- Coffeesai Cell-Based Coffee Cell-based coffee produced via Pluri's 3D cell expansion platform, targeting roughly 98% reduction in water usage and 95% reduction in farmland usage versus traditional coffee cultivation, developed through subsidiary Coffeesai.
- MAIT Cell Immunotherapy Platform Placental allogeneic MAIT (Mucosal Associated Invariant T) cell platform for immunotherapy treatment of solid tumors. MAIT cells offer lower alloreactivity profiles, minimizing Graft-versus-Host Disease risk and serving as a first-in-class off-the-shelf therapy expanded via Pluri's 3D cell technology.
- Cellav Regenerative Skincare (Regenativo+ and Placento+) Regenerative aesthetic products (Regenativo+ and Placento+) using exosome-based regenerative skincare through Cellav, Pluri's wholly-owned subsidiary; supplied in lyophilized powder and booster vial duo for professional topical use after aesthetic procedures, with clinically validated ingredients and statistically significant improvements in studies.
- FreezOnTime Cryogenic Supply Chain Services Cryogenic supply chain service offering GMP/GDP-compliant solutions for handling, storage, and global transportation of cryopreserved materials, including LN2 dry shipper rental, calibration, site initiation, and temperature-controlled storage for clinical trial logistics.
