About us

Company and business experience

Belinda Animals is a Belgrade-based company established in 2020. Our development builds on the experience of professionals who have worked in manufacturing, quality control, commercial operations and international trade. We apply this background to insect rearing, process development and cooperation in the circular bioeconomy.

Experience that predates the company

Members of our team have worked on pet-food production and packaging, manufacturing facility development, raw-material and equipment procurement, sales networks and relationships with domestic and international businesses. Their professional backgrounds include Galenika and ICN Galenika, Perfect Produkt, Belinda Bel and other companies.

Connecting production with development

Our Tenebrio molitor pilot infrastructure has provided a setting in which practical expertise can meet scientific research. Cooperation with IBISS and technology transfer to Montenegro demonstrate how controlled-rearing knowledge can support a new partner operation.
