Technology Center Koog
Versatile Food Applications – From Cocoa to Compound and Nuts
At the Technology Center in Koog, we offer a fully equipped process environment for developing, testing, and optimizing cocoa and compound applications under realistic conditions. Whether you're refining raw materials, validating processes, or creating entirely new products – we support you with expertise, flexibility, and a deep understanding of the challenges in modern food production.
Cocoa processing
From the cocoa bean to the finished powder, all core process steps can be mapped and adjusted: roasting, pressing, grinding, and pulverizing. Our experts support you in optimizing flavor profiles, improving process efficiency, and evaluating parameters for industrial scale-up – with a focus on energy use, product consistency, and quality.
Compound technology
We provide a flexible platform for the development and fine-tuning of compound recipes – from classic to plant-based or sugar-reduced. Whether you're targeting specific textures, viscosities, or flavor characteristics, our equipment and application know-how help you bring your ideas to life and ensure they are ready for production and market launch.
Nut processing
In addition to cocoa and compound applications, we also offer solutions for nut processing. Selected equipment at the site allows for the handling and refinement of nuts, enabling product development and process trials tailored to this raw material group.
