NIZO in short
Together to the next level
NIZO food research is one of the most advanced, independent contract research companies in the world. We are a small/medium sized company (SME, or MKB in Dutch). Our 200 employees successfully assist food and ingredient companies to make better foods and be more profitable.
We apply our expertise and competitive technologies to support your:
• innovation (flavour, texture, health)
• cost reduction (process efficiency, ingredient replacement, test productions)
• responsible entrepreneurship (food safety & quality, sustainable processing, evidence based health claims).
Working with NIZO provides access to the latest food science and technology, and easily mobilised expertise on a project basis.
NIZO thus serves the international dairy, food & beverage, ingredients and biotech industries with confidential and well scoped projects.
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
