Our application centres

We run high-tech Application Centres in Argentina, China and Denmark. In Denmark, the centre is located right beside our head office.

Our highly flexible, small-scale equipment can be rapidly adjusted to simulate specific production processes. This means we can carry out fast and effective application trials, dramatically shortening the time to market of new products.

Often together with dedicated customers, the application centre makes it possible to test ingredients in final applications such as cheese, yogurt, beverages, protein bars, etc.
