Palsgaard has announced the inauguration of its advanced Application Centre in Navi Mumbai, India. Developed in direct response to long-standing customer demand, the new facility is designed to enhance regional product development capabilities and provide localised technical support across key food categories.
Pilot plants simulate real-world production
The facility is co-located with Palsgaard’s new regional office and houses industrial-scale pilot plants equipped to simulate real-world production conditions. It features advanced technology tailored to bakery, dairy, ice cream, chocolate and confectionery applications, with state-of-the-art equipment. These capabilities enable manufacturers to trial and upscale recipes efficiently, under conditions that closely mirror their own production environments.
Supporting innovation and clean-label goals
The Application Centre will support Indian food manufacturers in accelerating innovation, optimising formulations and responding to evolving consumer demands. It also provides customers with access to Palsgaard’s global expertise while offering hands-on, locally accessible support for recipe development, product stability, shelf-life improvement and clean-label reformulations.
A commitment to customer partnership
Helle Müller Petersen, CEO, Palsgaard, said: “Our new Application Centre in Navi Mumbai is a tangible expression of our mission to provide customer-tailored emulsifier and stabiliser solutions, backed by advanced technology and a strong workplace culture. By expanding our presence in India, we reaffirm our commitment to being a responsible partner offering high-quality products, services, and knowledge to food manufacturers in one of the world’s most dynamic markets.”
Deepening local engagement
Supriyo De, Managing Director, Palsgaard India, added: “This centre strengthens our ability to support customers with locally accessible, pilot-scale innovation tools. It reflects our vision to be the preferred partner for food companies and non-food manufacturers alike, and embodies our values of loyalty, responsibility, and commitment. We are proud to deepen our local engagement and help our customers develop efficient, innovative, and customer-tailored products right here in India.”
