We back technical solutions to advance towards a more efficient, circular and resilient food industry, by making the best use of water and energy, cutting wastage and waste, designing new packs and developing new proteins. We are committed to digitalisation and social sustainability as pillars of our response to regulatory challenges, consumer demands and climate change.
We develop and implement advanced digital solutions incorporating sensor systems, real-time data analysis and artificial intelligence. We process monitoring and smart control, boosting quality, efficiency and traceability throughout the food chain, moving towards a connected, automated, data-based industry.
We develop and implement solutions aimed at saving and re-using water, efficient resource management and waste reduction. We optimise production processes using clean technologies and sustainable models to boost competitiveness and internal use of food resources.
We research, develop and transfer new protein sources and bioproducts made from by-products of the food industry. Using biotechnologies like microalgae and fungi, we create functional ingredients and high added-value proteins for human and animal food, fostering the circular economy and new business opportunities.
We design solutions to improve occupational health and safety in the food industry, through ergonomic assessment, risk analysis and optimisation of processes and facilities. We use innovative methods to prevent accidents, reduce musculoskeletal issues and foster safe, inclusive work environments.
We provide total solutions to identify, quantify and reduce environmental and social impacts throughout the food chain. We use advanced methodologies like life cycle analysis, carbon footprint, water footprint and ecodesign strategies, promoting transparency, trust and differentiation on the market.
We support companies in staying competitive while strengthening their economic, environmental and social sustainability through innovative technologies and solutions. Our expertise lies in making smarter use of food resources, improving process and water efficiency, cutting costs and minimising losses and waste. We promote circular-economy approaches, turning by-products into new bioproducts, and use eco-design to optimise processes, facilities, food products and occupational health and safety. By driving digitalisation and smart manufacturing, we help make the food industry more efficient, sustainable and competitive, reducing its environmental footprint and enabling products to stand out for their sustainability.
