our story
After acquiring strong industry knowledge and expertise within the meat & poultry industry, Robert Ekrem started discussing optimization opportunities with Adrian Diaz and David Moriano. To these discussions, Adrian and David brought their experience from developing disruptive technology and applying it to large industries.
By combining deep industry knowledge with disruptive technology, the meat industry got identified as a ripe candidate for true data-driven solutions. Völur was therefore born to make it possible to enable a more optimized and sustainable meat industry.
