Competence Centre
Technical Centre for Food Applications
Our technical centre in Krefeld, Germany, enables the carrying out of tests in the areas of food, chemistry and environment. In food we are able to cover several application fields, such as for example, cooling and freezing, transport cooling and modified atmosphere packaging. With the trials we examine how our customers can be supported by the use or the optimisation of gas-based processes. Our experienced team analyses the current customer processes and provides new solutions which are tailored to each process. All of these actions are carried out in close collaboration with our international food colleagues who are experts in local market conditions and trends of the respective country.
