Speciality ingredients and chemicals company IMCD has opened its new Food & Nutrition US Technical Hub in New Jersey, US, alongside a Pharmaceutical Technical Centre.
The new facilities, located at IMCD’s new offices in Allendale, are part of the company’s global network of more than 80 technical centres.
These centres are designed to facilitate technical development and knowledge sharing, offering expanded laboratory capabilities for product innovation alongside a learning space for technical seminars and workshops. The facilities bring together IMCD’s teams, customers and suppliers to collaborate on solutions across the food and beverage, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical markets, aiming to transform concepts into real-world solutions quickly and efficiently.
A dedicated Food & Nutrition Application Lab and Bakery Lab are included within the Food & Nutrition Technical Hub. These will enable co-creation of trend-driven formulation solutions across bakery, beverage, confectionery, dairy, nutrition and savoury applications.
Emilie Pharand, vice president of Food & Nutrition for North America at IMCD, spoke about the new hub: “It is a destination for collaboration, creativity and technical excellence, where market understanding and formulation expertise come together to accelerate ideas from concept to commercialisation. We are excited to welcome customers and partners into this space to co-create what’s next.”
