Swiss group Puratos has established its second European innovation hub in Romania, following Switzerland, with an investment of approximately €100,000. This hub aims to develop new food products tailored to local and regional customer needs, focusing on reducing sugar and increasing protein content. Collaborating with the University of Dunărea de Jos Galați, the hub employs 15-20 food chemistry specialists. Olivier Tilkens, Puratos President for Northern, Central, and Eastern Europe, emphasized Romania's strong educational resources and local agricultural diversity as key factors in the decision. The hub's projects include enhancing fillings with protein and reducing sugar content in products. Puratos has been operating in Romania for 30 years, achieving €55 million in local business.
