Azelis has announced the opening of its Regional Innovation Centre for Food and Nutrition in Singapore, as part of its efforts to invest in innovation capabilities.
The centre will enable Azelis to create “healthier and tastier solutions” for food products using advanced, sustainable ingredients and ready-to-use formulations. Azelis says that the centre is an essential milestone in its growth strategy, as it strengthens its position as a provider of innovative food and nutrition solutions.

He continued: “Focusing on innovation in new products and applications is our objective, and thanks to our comprehensive lateral value chain, we have access to sustainable building blocks for food and beverage formulations. Our vision for the [centre] is to positively impact our sustainability, health and wellness ambitions by creating pioneering formulations that address nutrition and health challenges and bring healthy solutions to the mainstream market.”
Laurent Nataf, Azelis’ CEO and president of Asia Pacific, added: “With more than 20 laboratories in the region covering our key market segments, we have significantly invested in our innovation capabilities across the Asia Pacific to ensure we deliver on our brand promise, ‘Innovation through formulation’”.
