Jakob Oberwalder

Jakob Oberwalder is a notable figure in the Slovenian manufacturing sector, having established a factory in Domžale over a century ago that originally focused on producing straw hats. Recently, his legacy has evolved as the factory now produces innovative plant-based meat substitutes through the company Juicy Marbles, co-founded by two former students of biotechnology. Oberwalder's adaptation to modern food technology reflects the changing landscape of the food industry and the growing demand for sustainable alternatives.
