Innovation, the engine for growth

Keeping a constant eye on current markets, Lesaffre chose to place innovation at the focal point of its business strategy, and has done so for many years. The objective is to create new products or improve existing ones. At the same time, developing optimised production techniques and adopting the latest technologies to emerge from fundamental Group research are equally important.  
Beyond its Management branch, which was specifically conceived with this theme in mind, every team member plays an active role in the pursuit of innovation. At Lesaffre every individual is aware of this central strategy, and participates in thought processes. This goes for marketing teams, industrial management, and of course the R&D Department .  Work of this calibre calls for the implementation of specialised, dedicated teams.

With its wealth of knowledge and expertise in markets and an active responsiveness to its customers, Lesaffre knows how to anticipate consumer expectations. Kastalia, a refrigerated distribution system for yeast, is a perfect example of the Group’s innovative capabilities as well as its unending concern for customer satisfaction.
