New soy protein plant among largest in U.S. * May 12, 2026 Bunge recently opened a new processing plant in Indiana billed as the first soybean protein concentrate facility built in the U.S. in more than 40 years. It's also reportedly the largest of its kind in the country. The facility, located along Bunge's existing soybean crush and refining complex in Shelby County, about 35 miles southeast of Indianapolis, is expected to process about 4.5 million bushels of soybeans annually and produce high-purity soy protein concentrates for a host of food and feed products. Bunge's PurePro soy protein concentrates include non-GMO and conventional varieties. The new facility was built to address growing consumer demand for protein-rich foods and rising pressure on food manufacturers to secure affordable, domestic supplies of plant-based ingredients, according to company officials.
