Custom R&D
FI&S operates a state-of-the-art product application laboratory with pilot scale equipment. The available individual equipment can be combined in different configurations in order to mimic virtually all processes in all segments of the food industry. Thanks to our application laboratory we can develop without disrupting our customers’ day-to-day operations.
Our food and application technologists work in close cooperation with our sales managers and the production team to continuously meet the need of our customers and to solve their problems. This allows us to fully customize our products in order to achieve the optimum functionality. Our blends are developed in accordance with our knowledgeable team and tested in our product application laboratory together with the customer until the best result is obtained.
We develop custom made solutions and create value for our customers.

Application lab
FI&S operates this product application laboratory with (industrial) pilot scale equipment. The available individual equipment can be combined in different configurations in order to mimic virtually all food processors. Because of this, development can be done without disrupting the day-to-day operation of a customer’s factory.
The existing facilities within FI&S have been upgraded and made available for use by partners, customers and external research institutes (e.g. HAS).
Three examples of the use of our lab by external researchers are the following studies, which have been conducted by the HAS and have been facilitated by the application lab of FI&S:
– Functional properties of protein powders from chicken MSM residue and application possibilities in chicken fillets
– Functional properties and application of mechanically separated pork meat
– Possibilities for bactericidal treatments on MSM
If you are interested in one or more copies of this study, you can contact us by sending an email to info@fi-s.com.
Project By-products Business Lab Open Innovation Site (Byblos) ‘phase 1’ has been made possible by contributions from the European Fund for Regional Development and the State as part of OP-Zuid.
