Our Centers and you
At our Innovation Centers, we concentrate on providing three main services:
Product development
To help our customers create the best finished goods, we offer specialist training in all aspects of product development. Whether improving a current product range, develop new recipes, or benchmark a products against competitors, we have all the expertise our customers need to work along side by side. Taste, freshness, texture, ingredient interaction, nutrition and food pairing – training, expert advice, and technical seminars on every aspect of product development are available
Category management
Good category management helps to develop a mutually beneficial relationship between retailer and supplier. By booking in time at one of our Innovation Centers, realistic profitability targets can be analysed and set for all product categories, and together with our customers we can work out strategies for meeting those targets.
Product profiling
What are the most important characteristics of each of your products? Is it texture? Is it taste? At our Innovation Centers, we will work towards the taste best suited to your audience by first concentrating on working out your product’s unique characteristics. The products of a variety of manufacturers will then be ranked to find out why some products score better than others. Finally, tailor-made solutions can be developed that will enable to create products that appeal directly to your target market.
