Our glocal approach to R&D
We are committed to keeping up with both the evolution of local tastes and the latest developments in global food innovation. And this commitment starts with our decentralised approach to R&D.
R&D CENTRES

R&D to suit consumer food preferences
Solina has opted to decentralise R&D processes with local teams in each country working closely with technical support and sales to create bespoke product solutions. Our clients themselves are key collaborators in the process, providing invaluable input into the development of the solution.
We enable our clients to grow
With backgrounds as professional chefs, cooks, food flavourists, food technologists, engineers and more, our multidisciplinary R&D teams have extensive knowledge of clients’ technical environments and production processes, ingredients and culinary techniques used,

Local expertise & global reach
- Our sourcing team seeks out the best raw materials from around the world for locally conceived products. Composed of R&D, procurement and quality specialists, this team opens the door to co-innovation. It also ensures transparency in the supply chain.
- Our long-term research group keeps all locations up to date on the latest global food trends and gives access to cutting-edge scientific and technological capabilities.
- Our local R&D teams can focus on product development and adapt to culturally specific taste preferences, market regulatory conditions. Tests can be conducted in real industrial conditions thanks to our pilot plants and 450 sqm excellence centre.
