Driven by our passion for potatoes, we work hard every day to discover and develop groundbreaking innovations. Innovations that ensure that 10 million people a day continue to eat our potato products.
We try to get more out of the potato through innovation. From our close contact with potato growers and customers and our strong focus on quality, Aviko's flexible approach produces an extensive range of innovative potato products with added value.
Our innovations in potato products begin with our channel
marketers and product managers who assess market needs. They work
closely with experts in the Innovation & Product Development
department. These food specialists collaborate with renowned
research institutes, universities, market research agencies and
other large food producers to deliver the best and tastiest
products.
In addition to product innovations, process innovations also play
an important role within Aviko. Among others, we participate in
various European research projects, such as CLB (closed-loop
blanching
http://www.cosun.com/MVO/Innovatie/Closed-Loop-Blanching.aspx) and
LEAF (Low Energy And Fat). As part of our process innovation,
Aviko also develops its own production processes, such as the steam
cooking of potatoes (Steamfresh products). At Aviko, our
information about the potato spans the entire production chain.
