Explore →How it works
Bioconversion, mastered.
From our own genetics in Mol to controlled bioconversion in Mouscron, organic side streams become protein, oils and a natural soil improver.
Innovation
From ingredients to advanced biomaterials.
Oils, chitin and bioactive compounds open the way to premium nutrition, cosmetics, agriculture and, in the long term, health.
These applications are in research or development. They are not currently commercial products of Profinity.

About us
One group, the full biology.
Profinity is a Belgian bioconversion group that controls the full process, from its own genetics to finished ingredients.
Our story
Two complementary companies, one conviction.
Profinity brings together two complementary Belgian companies that share one conviction: that nature's most efficient bioconversion process deserves the precision of modern biotechnology.
EntoQ, founded in Mol, built deep expertise in genetics and breeding. WasTech, founded in Mouscron, specialised in bioconversion and processing. By joining forces in Profinity, we now master the full process, from the first generation of our strains to the finished ingredient.
Our ambition is to build a European group that turns organic resources into ever more valuable products: high-quality ingredients today, advanced biomaterials tomorrow.
Mission & vision
Why we exist, and where we are heading.
We turn organic side streams into high-quality biological ingredients by mastering the biology of bioconversion, from genetics to finished product.
A European bioconversion group that climbs the value ladder: from protein, oils and soil improvers today to functional ingredients and advanced biomaterials tomorrow.
Our group
Genetics at the centre, bioconversion at the edge.
Profinity is a Belgian bioconversion group that turns organic side streams from the agri-food chain into high-quality biological ingredients. The group combines two complementary companies that together control the full biological process, from genetics to finished product. Profinity serves customers in pet food, animal nutrition and agriculture, and is building towards higher-value applications in biomaterials, nutraceuticals and cosmetics.
EntoQ
A Profinity company
EntoQ, a full subsidiary of the Profinity group, is the genetics and breeding company of the group. From its site in Mol, EntoQ runs a selective-breeding programme and a specialised hatchery producing high-quality neonates, the young larvae that start the bioconversion process. It supplies both the group's own bioconversion operations and partner sites across Europe.
WasTech
A Profinity company
WasTech, a full subsidiary of the Profinity group, operates the group's bioconversion and processing site in Mouscron. WasTech sources organic side streams from agri-food partners and converts them, through a controlled biological process, into fresh and dried larvae, protein meal, oil and natural soil improver for customers in animal nutrition, pet food and agriculture.
Registered office: Profiniti BV, Avenue Louise 54, 1050 Brussels.

Get to know us
More about Profinity.
How it works
From organic resource to high-value ingredient.
Our process combines the efficiency of nature with the precision of modern biotechnology. Every step is monitored, documented and designed for consistent quality.
Our process
Five steps, from genetics to delivery.
At the heart of our process is the larva of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens), one of nature's most efficient bioconverters. We control every stage of its life cycle.
Genetics
EntoQ · Mol
A selective-breeding programme improves our strains generation after generation for vitality, growth, conversion efficiency and consistency.
Hatchery & neonates
EntoQ · Mol
Eggs hatch into neonates, 1-day-old larvae. Our proprietary methods, including automated dosing, deliver precise and consistent batches.
Bioconversion
WasTech · Mouscron
Neonates are placed on carefully composed feed made from organic side streams. Over about two weeks they convert it into protein- and fat-rich biomass.
Processing
WasTech · Mouscron
The larvae are supplied fresh, gently dried, or processed into protein meal and oil. The residual frass becomes a natural soil improver.
Quality & delivery
Every batch
Every batch is analysed and documented. We apply HACCP principles and work to the standards of the Belgian food-safety authorities.
Protein, oil and frass: every fraction of the process is valorised.
Genetics
Our biology is our know-how.
Everything starts with the right biology. At our site in Mol, EntoQ selects the best-performing parents generation after generation. It is the same principle as in plant seeds or animal breeding, with no genetic modification.
Adult flies live and reproduce in climate-controlled chambers, and their eggs are collected under controlled conditions. Consistent genetics mean a consistent starting material, and consistent ingredients at the end.
Our model
We bring the biology to the resource.
Most large players in our field built giant central factories and transported organic material over long distances to them. We follow a different logic.
A central hatchery supplies neonates to bioconversion units located close to where organic side streams are generated. The model is leaner, more resilient and replicable in new locations, by us or by partners using our genetics.

Research themes
What we are working on.
Premium pet ingredients
We are developing enzymatic protein hydrolysates for premium and sensitive-formula pet food, including natural flavour enhancers.
Functional oils
We are investigating functional applications of our lauric-acid-rich oil in animal nutrition.
Chitin and chitosan
Our research explores the extraction and refinement of chitin and chitosan from our biology: a shellfish-free, European and fully traceable source of a versatile natural biomaterial.
Cosmetics
Cosmetic ingredients are one of the application areas we are exploring, from chitosan derivatives to refined oils.
Nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals
In the long term, we see potential for high-purity chitin derivatives in nutraceutical and pharmaceutical applications.
Soil health
We are developing next-generation soil-health solutions based on our frass.
Genetics and technology for partners
We support partners who want to set up or improve bioconversion operations with our genetics, neonates and know-how. Neonates are commercial today; licensing and technology packages are in development.
Bioactive peptides
Science is exploring the natural bioactive peptides of the black soldier fly larva; we follow and contribute to this research.
Longer term, we aim to turn low-value biological resources into high-value nutrition, health and material products.
Collaborations
Collaborate with us.
We work with research institutions and industrial partners on the next steps of the value ladder.
The applications described on this page are in research or development. They are not currently commercial products of Profinity.
Quality & compliance
Quality starts with biology.
Because we breed our own genetics and control every step of the process, we can deliver consistent, traceable ingredients. We work to the strictest applicable standards of the competent Belgian authorities, because our customers and their customers deserve nothing less.
Our quality approach
Four things we control.
Own genetics
A consistent starting material from our own selective-breeding programme in Mol.
Controlled environments
Production takes place in closed environments, with continuous monitoring of temperature, humidity and feed composition.
Batch analyses
Every batch is analysed and documented before it leaves our site.
Traceability
Full traceability from genetics to delivery.
Regulatory framework
The rules we work to.
| Area | Framework |
|---|---|
| Food-safety management | HACCP principles applied throughout the process |
| Animal by-products | Regulation (EC) 1069/2009 and implementing Regulation (EU) 142/2011 |
