- Full Description
-
Founded in 2005, this Colombian company specializes in the research, development, and production of sustainable and functional food ingredients. It is recognized nationally and internationally for delivering innovative solutions that improve health, well-being, and quality of life through food. Its approach combines science, technology, and sustainability to create high-performance ingredients that meet diverse industrial needs and follow global food trends.
The company uses advanced technologies like spray drying, microencapsulation, and biotechnology. These allow for ingredients that extend shelf life without refrigeration, enable controlled nutrient release, and reduce logistics and storage costs. This helps clients improve production efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and offer healthier products.
The portfolio includes dairy ingredients such as whey protein concentrate (WPC), milk protein concentrate (MPC), dairy bases, powdered yogurt, and milk concentrates. It also offers microencapsulated fats and oils as sustainable alternatives, customized solutions for beverages, bakery, pastry, and ice cream, plus cream bases and whipping agents for better texture and stability. Ingredients for nutritional beverages and supplements fortified with caseinates and whey proteins are also available. Additional products include sauces, dressings, dulce de leche, condensed milk, powdered fruits and vegetables, and specialized nutraceutical formulations. Each product undergoes strict quality control and technical support to ensure international market suitability.
Beyond products, the company focuses on social and environmental responsibility. It transforms dairy waste, especially whey, into valuable ingredients, cutting water use and carbon emissions. It promotes circular economy and partners with rural communities to improve access to nutritious ingredients and create economic opportunities. This strengthens climate resilience and social equity.
International growth depends on partnerships and distribution agreements, mainly in Europe. These aim to leverage local knowledge, expand networks, and co-develop sustainable solutions. Cooperation includes joint development, technology transfer, and knowledge exchange to foster innovation and ensure compliant product delivery.
The company has won awards such as NASA’s Deep Space Food Challenge (2021), WWF’s Natural Solutions Award (2022), and UNIDO’s Foodtech Award (2024). It holds certifications for carbon neutrality, social responsibility, and sustainability, underscoring its commitment to innovation and responsible business. - Advantages and Innovations
