MANE Opens New Centre of Excellence in Mexico
06 Mar 2015 --- MANE continues to invest significantly to grow its capabilities in research and development for the Savoury category around the world. After the opening of its new centre of excellence in Vouvry, Switzerland, last month, the Group has unveiled its newest centre of excellence called “El Culinarium”, which spans over 150m2 and represented a USD $ 500,000 investment.
This centre provides a brand new and state of the art application space for our highly experienced team of flavourists, evaluators and applicators, led by our Culinary Chef Clement Buvry, to work together with customers to design cutting-edge solutions for culinary, snacks and meat applications.
“El Culinarium” is located in MANE's Lerma facility in Mexico and features: a savoury application laboratory, a tasting room and a fully equipped professional kitchen.
The R&D centre is also equipped with a technology hall offering a variable layout since it can host various pilot-scale manufacturing machines to replicate as truthfully as possible the production processes of the leaders of the food industry.
The opening of “El Culinarium” is part of an ambitious programme of strategic investments planned by MANE MEXICO, which also includes the expansion of the production plant and of the R&D laboratories.
