The opening of the Cosun Nutrition Center aligns with the new strategy Unlock25, announced earlier this year. Cosun aims to grow internationally in those product segments that benefit the well-being of people and animals, as well as a more sustainable lifestyle.
Hans Meeuwis, CEO of Cosun, explains, “The design of the Cosun Nutrition Center aligns perfectly with our goal to play an active role in both dialogue and knowledge development in our priority areas. The centre focuses on the full spectrum of our plant-based products within the organisation. This includes such new growth areas as proteins and fibres. The knowledge acquired over the years about sugar beets, potatoes, chicory, etc. and the nutritional aspects of these crops will also play a role in the Cosun Nutrition Center.”
According to Director of the Cosun Nutrition Center, Janine Verheesen, the center will participate in scientific research into plant-based food ingredients and make scientific knowledge available to organisations and professionals in the areas of nutrition, health and sustainability. To facilitate this, the centre is actively seeking dialogue and collaboration with knowledge partners, government agencies and interest organisations with a focus on food and health.
