What we do

One partner for the whole technological path: from recipe and process to equipment specifications and the first batches.

Process development and documentation

Process flow diagrams, operation descriptions, critical parameters and control points, written so that production is repeatable on any shift.

Pilot batch planning and coordination

Trial programme, batch sizes, sampling, laboratory verification and evaluation of results. We run the process, the manufacturer produces.

Manufacturing partner selection

Search for contract manufacturers and subcontractors in the Baltics and Europe, request preparation, offer comparison, negotiation of technical terms.

Recipe and process parameter tuning

Balancing composition, texture, shelf life and cost. Parameters are fixed only once they hold on production equipment, not in the lab.

Process optimisation

Material and staff flows, zoning, hygienic design, quality control logic. Less waste, shorter cycles, clearer responsibility.

Equipment selection and technical specifications

Independent equipment selection by product and capacity, technical briefs and specifications for tenders, technical evaluation of offers.

How a project runs

A typical path to market for a new product. Each stage ends with a document or a batch you can take to a manufacturer, an investor or a buyer.

Stage 1 · about 1 month

Composition and concept analysis

  • Recipe and raw material assessment
  • Identification of technological risks
  • Preliminary production technology and costs

Outcome: technical brief and trial plan

Stage 2 · about 2 months

Trials and parameter fixing

  • Product property and shelf-life testing
  • Packaging and labelling selection
  • Parameter tuning on production equipment

Outcome: approved process documentation

Stage 3 · about 3 months

Pilot batch

  • Manufacturer selection and contract
  • Batch production and quality control
  • Preparation for serial production

Outcome: product on the market, TRL 9

Experience that comes from the production floor

Since its founding the company has worked only in food technology. For a decade we supplied and installed production and catering equipment, so we judge every technological decision through the lens of real manufacturers, their machines and their limits.

10years in food technology
600+equipment manufacturers we have worked with directly
6–9technology readiness levels where we run projects
10+active and completed R&D and plant projects in the last two years

Industries we work in

The process logic is the same; the equipment, hygiene zones and shelf-life risks differ. We have run projects in each of these categories.

Ready mealschilled and frozen, HPP, tray packing
Fish and seafoodsorting, filleting, caviar, cold chain
Bakerydeck and rack ovens, proofing, par-baking
