Specialty Applications: Our expertise and passion for unique challenges

Specialty Applications: Our expertise and passion for unique challenges

Companies that are aiming to bring special products to market can face unique challenges. To ensure that product developments reach their goals and production processes run smoothly, it requires partners who approach these challenges with a deep understanding of these workflows, experience, and passion. At CAPOL, we are experts in many areas of food production and offer innovative solutions to keep our customers one step ahead of their competition.

Decades of experience and broad networks to deliver agile market solutions

Thanks to our decades of experience in various fields such as food coloring, flavors, surface finishings, and surface treatments, our experts have extensive interdisciplinary knowledge. This allows us to quickly respond to new regulatory requirements or changing preferences by end consumers, for example. We enjoy taking on challenges and delving deeply into our customers' production processes, enabling us to find unique solutions and optimize processes.

A customer-centric approach is key for us: We tailor formulations precisely to our customers' requirements and deliver products that are as easy to use as possible. Our experiences in sustainability and efficiency also contribute to providing our customers with contemporary products that address important issues for businesses and end consumers.

As part of the Freudenberg Group, we have direct access to leading experts across many fields of science and technology. Our research groups collaborate to find the best solutions for our customers and support the development of innovative products.

Thinking outside the box: Reducing plastic in food production

An example of our passion to develop new products is the Liquid Interleaving System. Improving the sustainability of food products requires looking beyond ingredients and raw materials. Packaging, in particular, offers untapped potential for many manufacturers. This includes interleavers, the plastic films that separate slices of ham, or cheese analog products. These plastics are disposable materials that contribute to more waste and increased transportation costs.

CAPOL has therefore partnered with an industry partner to invent the Liquid Interleaving System. Here, plastic films can be replaced with a spray system. The liquid is long-lasting, offers excellent separation, does not alter the taste of the product, and does not affect its shelf life.

Innovations like this system demonstrate that CAPOL is the right partner for sustainability – whether through optimizing production processes on a large scale or identifying potentials that others overlook.

A natural safeguard for good flavor

We can also optimize food products themselves: Freshly harvested exotic fruits often have a short shelf life when ripe, leading farmers to harvest them prematurely. However, premature harvesting negatively affects their taste. We have addressed this challenge for our customers by developing a new and unique food coating. Our solution preserves the taste, extends shelf life, and reduces the need for chemical agents typically used to improve shelf life. Our food coating consists of plant-based ingredients, offering a more natural alternative to present fruits with the best flavor to end consumers.

Contact us now, if you want to learn more about our expertise and see for yourself, how we can help you overcome any challenge and create the perfect product for your customers.
