Innovation is teamwork

Only when people work together, share results, and continuously look for the earliest opportunity to apply results, progress can be made. Since 1948 our experts have worked in joint teams with industry to co-create new products and process technologies.

In addition to R&D projects, our food-grade Pilot Plant – one of the world’s largest – is available for:

• Tolling
• Test productions
• You can use our industrial kitchen facilities for product oriented research or to develop new food concepts with the assistance of scientists or a chef.
