The company, based in Mössingen, Germany, has been producing plant-based products such as sausages, schnitzels, and steaks since 1993 under the brands "Wheaty" and "Veggyness." Founder Klaus Gaiser, who introduced tofu to Germany in the 1980s, later reinvented the 1500-year-old seitan tradition for Western tastes. Gaiser believes that the shift towards plant-based diets is not just a trend but a necessary response to the global ecological crisis. TOPAS is committed to sustainable practices, ensuring that their raw materials are sourced without causing environmental destruction or violating human rights.
