CSM Ingredients Group – a Nexture company and a global leader in value added solutions for the food industry, comprising both CSM Ingredients and HIFOOD – is proud to announce the opening of its brand-new, customer focused product development centre in Cheshire. The £3 million investment in the UK marks a significant milestone, strengthening the Group’s commitment to customer-centric innovation, sustainable growth and long-term partnerships. The product development centre will also be home to its next generation test bakery, UK head office and customer experience centre.
The new facility has been designed as a future-proofed centre of excellence with capacity for expansion, ensuring CSM Ingredients Group and Nexture are well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of customers and the wider bakery and food industry for decades to come. Spanning two tiers, the site brings together fully integrated offices and a product development centre, complete with cutting-edge equipment and a bespoke temperature-controlled test bakery designed to support new product development.
“Our investment in the UK and Ireland clearly signifies the importance of the area not only for CSM Ingredients, but for the entire Nexture platform” commented Gabriele Del Torchio, Chief Executive Officer Nexture. “This new facility in Cheshire embodies our collective ambition to bring together craftmanship, innovation and partnerships to deliver meaningful progress for our customers and the industry at large.”
With a heritage dating back over a century, CSM Ingredients Group’s new site in UK stands as a testament to its legacy and a commitment to the future of ingredient innovation, as further explained by Christian Sobolta, Chief Executive Officer CSM Ingredients Group: “This new site represents far more than a facility: it embodies our vision for the future of food. The modern equipment, the customer-focused test production environment and the sustainable design of the workspaces will enable us to
accelerate product development and customer proximity across several food segments, allowing us to work even closer with our partners to shape the next generation of food experiences.”
The mock production environment is perfect for line trials and innovation projects, the training and presentation centre is suitable for both large-scale and more intimate sessions, while the dedicated allergen-free area has been created to meet the growing demand for specialist solutions.
Furthermore, the modern workplace was designed in a people-first manner, filled with natural light and featuring walls and breakout areas to encourage collaboration and creativity.
