What Entomo AgroIndustrial does
Entomo AgroIndustrial (legal entity Entomo Consulting S.L.) is a Spanish SME founded in 2016 and headquartered in Cehegín, Murcia, that develops industrial insect bioconversion technology based on Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae. The company's core technology converts organic waste streams into four output products: insect protein, insect fat, chitosan, and organic fertilizer. Its offerings span feasibility studies, bioconversion process design, modular production systems, and downstream technology, effectively functioning as a turnkey industrial project developer for clients seeking to build or operate insect-based protein facilities.
The company serves B2B customers across four primary segments: animal feed (including poultry and aquaculture), agro-food, waste management, and aquaculture. Revenue is generated primarily through industrial project development services and technology licensing/consulting engagements rather than commodity product sales, positioning the firm as a process-technology provider to industrial operators rather than a producer of bulk insect protein. Active customer engagement appears project-based, with no disclosed named anchor clients.
Entomo participates in a substantial portfolio of EU and bilateral R&D programs, including Horizon 2020 projects VALUWASTE and RUSTICA, the PRIMA Programme's SUSTAVIANFEED, the RIS3Mur COVID-19 project, CDTI-Malaysia, ACUINSECT, and BIOPRO, indicating strong participation in collaborative research. The firm is certified as an Innovative SME (Empresa Innovadora), holds the EU Seal of Excellence, and has been recognized by the Solar Impulse Foundation. A 2023 funding event linked to Capsa Vida suggests recent external capital mobilization. Headcount is reported at 1–10 employees.

Entomo AgroIndustrial competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- Hexafly: Irish BSF bioconversion company producing protein, oil, and frass for animal feed; comparable technology stack and end-product mix.
- Entocycle: UK-based BSF producer with automated rearing technology for feed and waste-management applications; comparable on species and circular-economy use cases but at smaller scale.
- Flying Spark: Israeli insect protein company using BSF larvae for food, feed, and cosmetics ingredients; comparable biorefinery approach producing protein, oil, and chitosan.
Direct peers
- AgriProtein: South African-origin BSF insect protein company targeting animal feed and waste valorization; comparable bioconversion technology and end markets despite different geography.
- Ynsect: France-based industrial insect protein producer (mealworm) operating one of the world's largest insect farms; directly comparable as a B2B insect-protein/bioconversion platform selling sustainable protein for animal feed.
- InnovaFeed: French Black Soldier Fly protein producer focused on aquafeed (notably salmon); uses co-location with agro-industrial partners, mirroring Entomo's BSF bioconversion model and target customer base.
- Protix: Dutch pioneer in BSF-based protein, fat, and frass for animal feed and pet food; closely comparable on insect species, outputs, and circular-economy positioning.
- BioflyTech: Spanish BSF producer supplying protein and oil for animal feed; same insect species, same geography (Spain), and overlapping agro-food customer base.
Broad incumbents
- Bühler Group: Swiss process-equipment OEM with an insect-processing technology line partnering with insect-protein producers; comparable as an enabler of industrial-scale insect bioconversion rather than a direct protein producer.
Regional players
- Entofood: Malaysian BSF insect protein producer operating in Southeast Asia — a region explicitly listed in Entomo's geographic footprint (Malaysia); comparable on species, outputs, and agro-waste valorization.
