Blendhub’s Formulation Excellence Center has expanded its services by opening its facilities in Spain, India and Mexico for the use of other food enterprises, as if the facilities were their own, for the development of their products.
The new corporation, which includes the companies Premium Ingredients and Portable Powder Blending, says that it is promoting a new business model based on transparency, through which it offers its customers the opportunity to collaborate with the company in the development of open formulas, completely transparent in costs and with the possibility of acquiring the products’ intellectual property licence, or to collaborate to improve their own formulations. As part of the second option, Blendhub is providing them with two research laboratories and two pilot plants for testing.
The Formulation Excellence Center specialises in the areas of cheeses, dairy products and beverages, and has the latest technology to analyze the texture and stability of the powder blends or food products. The laboratories are located in Spain and Mexico, with two pilot plants with production capacity of powder blends and liquid injection in Spain and India. These plants allow for producing on a large scale or in small quantities, the company says, to analyse the blend’s functionality.
In addition, both pilot plants are equipped with full IT systems that allow for remote control and data classification.
Blendhub is offering clients requiring these services the possibility to use the facilities with their own staff or with the support and advice of the company’s technicians.
