Equinom Enters American Market 

Non-GMO seed-breeding specialist Equinom, Ltd., is expanding and operations and is opening offices in the U.S. to serve the North American market. 

This move will bring it closer to key farming communities and grain handlers, as well as to food and food ingredient companies.

Equinom’s business model directly connects food companies to the supply chain, in turn bringing increased transparency and paving the way for more responsible sourcing of high-value plant protein. 

Rick Mignella has joined the company as EVP and managing director to lead the U.S. team and focus on scaling up business and expanding Equinom’s presence and reach within the North American market. Before joining Equinom, Mignella held several strategic business development positions for global food and ingredient companies, including Ingredion and Cargill.

“This exciting move to new shores marks the next phase of growth for Equinom. We are delighted to welcome Rick to Equinom and are confident that his know-how and vast industry experience will take this rapidly growing company smoothly to the next level of expansion,” enthuses Gil Shalev, CEO and founder of Equinom. 

“Equinom can significantly contribute to the plant-based revolution and the broader food industries by changing the way food systems currently operate. Equinom’s non-GMO technology can help facilitate the creation of clean food products, increase protein content, and tailor key nutrients to the specific requests of food product developers and manufacturers. Our mission of connecting the farming industry with the food companies will build the next-generation mutual ecosystem for food production,” says Mignella.
