The specialist for lifetime
nutritional powders
FIPROS Nutrition now also offers processing of
specialties and private label recipes
Danish contract manufacturer FIPROS Nutrition has repositioned
itself for the future. At its brand-new processing
site on the island of Funen in Denmark, built in
2019/2020 for the equivalent of € 13 million, FIPROS
Nutrition is now also offering the processing of powder products,
aiming at the nutritional and functional food industry. IDM was
on site.
FIPROS A/S, the mother company of FIPROS Nutrition, has
been in the contract manufacturing business since 1992 and processes
a variety of food and food ingredients for its customers
around the globe. With the building of the new plant of FIPROS
Nutrition, the company is now another step further: Under highest
food safety standards, the company now offers the development
and the processing of lifetime nutritional powders.
Optimum production flow for specialties
In addition to dairy based powder products, such as standard infant
nutrition, FIPROS Nutrition also offers the processing of specialties
such as vegan or hypoallergenic powder products, serving
the entire lifetime span from mothers and babies to children,
families, and elderly people. "Our particular strength lies in our
flexibility and the concept of our new plant. Due to its relatively
small dimensions, it can also handle allergens, as the time required
for cleaning is less than 6 hours and we can guarantee 100%-line
clearance. This is precisely where large manufacturers have their
biggest challenges, as it reduces the cost-efficiency for them to
clean their plant after frequent product changes and the handling
of for example allergens. This is where opportunities open up for
us, because we can serve our customers with batch sizes as low as
two tons." says Conny Twisttmann, CEO of FIPROS.
Private Label powders will constitute
a new offer
Besides specialties, FIPROS Nutrition now also offers the possibility
to acquire recipes for private label productions. "Small or startup
companies that have a great idea or a request for a product,
can postpone or avoid the investment in their own production facility.
Maybe they do not have the know-how or the resources
to develop the product," explains Conny Twisttmann. "To those
companies we are now offering finished blends." FIPROS will of
course continue to work under a hundred percent confidentiality
and otherwise not engage in product development or marketing
of own brands.
Production on three floors
The construction of FIPROS Nutrition's blending and packing plant
began in spring 2019, and approval was granted by the Danish
Food Inspectorate in June 2020. The goal is in the near future to
reach three-shift operation six days a week, which means a processing
capacity of 6,000 t/y. The plant is designed as a three-floor
