The art of creating a beverage

The Beverage segment is extremely vibrant and offers an immense range of trends to explore, including low and no calorie alternatives for sugar drinks, exotic mixtures and options that meet consumers’ desire for health and wellbeing. Our Food & Nutrition experts are specialists in guiding you through the vast field of possibilities to develop innovative products. Be it the optimization of existing formulations or the creation of customer specific solutions: In our Food Innovation & Application Centers we find solutions for your individual needs.

The rise in consumers who want to explore beverage alternatives that keep the taste but cut the calories have led to many new product developments. According to a study of market researchers of Innova, 31 percent of US consumers have increased their purchase of flavored water. Strawberry, apple, cherry or passion fruit and iced tea are classic flavors of choice - but created with as little sugar additives as possible. We can be your partner to supply you with clever formulations that fulfil all demanded requirements.

Time for adventures

When it comes to beverages, consumers are known to be open for experiments. We see a huge potential in mixtures, especially of fermented drinks such as kombucha with cold-pressed juices. Creative flavor innovations, limited edition releases and seasonal launches are very popular and offer a wide choice.

Soft drinks or alcoholic beverages, energy drinks or coffee: Large parts of the population long for healthier, and clean label versions of many products. The demand for fiber fortified drinks, for example, is on the rise and protein-enriched beverages is increasing, as well. Our Food & Nutrition division provides the know-how and in-house development work to revolutionize your formulation and give your drinks all the features you demand.

"Innovative new product development is the key to success in today’s evolving beverage market.
