For better food & health

Home

NIZO offers development and pilot production of innovative new food products to help you meet fast and radically changing consumer demands.
Concerned with climate change, the effects of lifestyle on health and much longer life expectancies, people are increasingly looking for food options that are sustainable and have proven health benefits. At the same time, our increasingly digital world is revolutionising distributions channels, bringing convenience for consumers – but also very different storage and food safety conditions which have major implications for manufacturers.
Amid all this change, one age-old fact of food production remains: if it doesn’t look, feel and, above all, taste right, it won’t sell.

NIZO’s wide-ranging expertise helps you successfully address your food challenge: from managing the protein transition or delivering real health benefits to maintaining food safety and scaling up to industrial production. Through multidisciplinary teams and unique pilot production plant, we bring all the expertise together to deliver cost and time-to-market savings. And we are the only partner that can support you through the entire innovation process: from R&D to (pilot) production.
