Wafer product development

What you will learn

Start your product development in our lab: Our experienced food technologists will guide you. We provide the machinery necessary to create innovative new products. With our single-plate ovens we simulate the baking process. Creams can be mixed, refined and spread with a standard film or contact spreading machine. The package includes technological training on ingredients, recipes, process parameters and machine settings. The duration of this training depends on the complexity of the product and the number of products to be developed. Additionally, you can also take part in sensory training at a local flavor company.
