The brand has also roped in leading names in the US food market such as Vincent Herbert, Jeffrey S. Fried, and Henrik Fjordbak, to help the brand get a strong foothold in its new setting.

“With Jeff and Henrik’s success in nurturing industry-leading brands and Vincent’s prowess in delivering global expansion, we have a powerhouse team primed for explosive entry into new markets; to shift consumer behaviour and be a force for good.”
Neat Burger growth trajectory in the US
The company has major expansion goals for the future in line with its vision is to make alternative-proteins an everyday staple as increasing numbers of consumers look to adopt a vegan and flexitarian lifestyle.
Neat is working to introduce a healthier vegan meat option to American consumers using plant-based ingredients including quinoa, chickpeas, and mung beans.

“Neat is leading the charge in the development of these alternatives that not only satisfy the needs of conscious consumers, but that also deliver on flavor. We’re here to prove that the easiest choice can also be the best choice for the planet.”
Additionally, the company plans to have over 1,000 corporately owned, franchise, and delivery-only kitchens by 2030.
