The new Innovation Centre aims to step change cutting edge technology and development of new solutions within a wide range of specialized dairy and whey ingredients to meet the fast growing global demand for nutritious and sustainable #food. The Innovation Centre will be the new home for AFI’s own leading international scientists and innovators and will bridge the gap for world class research, clinical trials and collaboration across the globe.
Arla Foods Ingredients (AFI), a subsidiary of the European dairy cooperative #arla Foods, is a global leader within specialized high quality milk and whey ingredients used to meet specific needs of children, athletes, patients and consumers. Globally, the specialized ingredients market is a 10 billion EUR business, and it is expected to grow at a high pace within the coming years. With the new innovation centre, AFI is able to further tap into this growth by intensifying its innovation efforts and taking its business to the next level both within its core markets in Europe, China and the Americas - and beyond.
Based in Nr Vium in Denmark and with a total size of 9,000m2, the new Innovation Centre will be home to up to 100 scientists and technicians, who will have access to state-of-the-art facilities, including laboratories for clinical trials and a pilot plant and office spaces. Here, they will cover all aspects of research and development within whey and milk – from advanced separation technology to improved functionality and shelf-life.
Niels Østergaard, VP Research & Development at #arla Foods Ingredients, says: “I am very proud and have been looking forward to this day when we open our new #arla Foods Ingredients Innovation Centre. It will deliver a huge boost to our research and development capabilities, and we’re incredibly excited about the possibilities it offers. Working with our scientific and industry partners, we’ll be able to undertake more research, embark on ambitious new projects, and innovate to tackle some of the world’s most urgent #food and nutrition challenges.”
