On-site innovation lab to allow for broad exchange of ideas and expertise
In the so-called “Food Valley” of Wageningen, Symrise pioneers a new approach by installing an innovation lab at the Unilever Foods Innovation Centre on the Wageningen Campus. By having Symrise resources directly on the site of consumer goods manufacturer Unilever and by working together with scientists of the internationally renowned Wageningen University & Research, innovative culinary foods will be developed at a much faster pace. This enables Symrise to thoroughly understand and deliver against its customer’s needs. Knowledge exchange with customers and research institutes at joint facilities will serve as a successful model to achieve this.
Could a slight note of mint perfectly complement the taste of a lamb ragout? Or could coriander add that special twist to a seasoning sauce? The culinary professionals at Symrise explore the best ingredients for sauces, condiments, soups or dips on a daily basis. In the past, Symrise taste experts developed finished product ideas in their own facilities and then presented them to their customers from the food industry. Symrise has now developed an integrated model with the consumer goods manufacturer Unilever. The latter is one of the world’s leading consumer packaged goods companies offering well- loved brands like Knorr, Wall’s, Lipton, Hellmann’s and Amora.
