The technology center will
offer room for exchange and cooperation – not only between internal experts,
but also with external partners. This includes universities, research
institutes or start-ups, but also customers and suppliers. “From the idea to
the finished product, the new technology center will allow us to include all
areas in the development process: from new product formulas, new technologies
and new packaging developments to completely new production processes and
marketing ideas,” De Loecker continues. “The excellent technical equipment will allow us to
shorten the time needed to develop and test prototypes and new products and to
make them marketable.”
