Hydrosol’s unique Know-how Connection in the Stern-Wywiol Gruppe
The success of Hydrosol as a provider of tailor-made stabilizing and emulsifying systems is based in large measure on our membership in the independent Stern-Wywiol Gruppe, which specializes in food and feed ingredients. All of the individual companies within the group place great emphasis on a high level of practical application expertise, research and development. The group’s well-equipped technology centre is located in Ahrensburg near Hamburg, Germany. In addition to laboratories specializing in dairy, ice-cream, meat and deli foods, the group also has research facilities – “technikums” – for enzymes, vitamins and micronutrients, baking and lipids, as well as a trial spraying plant.
The interdisciplinary recipe for success
Again and again, the companies in our group create synergies and solve challenges together, for the benefit of Hydrosol customers. For example, our sister company SternVitamin has developed solutions for vitamin-fortified dairy drinks, while another group company, HERZA Schokolade, offers germ-reduced coated chocolate sprinkles for use in yogurts.
