Snack Innovation Centre

Baker Perkins offers all its customers facilities to develop new products and processes, produce samples for test marketing, and conduct feasibility trials.

The Process Centre at Peterborough in the UK contains a wide range of production and laboratory scale equipment dedicated to the snack industry.

Customers are guaranteed total confidentiality, working with or without the help of Baker Perkins' experienced food technologists.

Companies from every part of the world find that thorough trials, often using their own raw materials, provide a reliable basis for trouble-free commissioning of a new plant or launch of a new line.

The wide variety of process technologies available under one roof enables us to cross conventional process boundaries, and to offer a variety of process solutions for a single product.

This range of equipment is permanently available, and specialised units can be brought in - from other suppliers if necessary - to complete a process. Alternatively, customers are welcome to bring along their own technologies to integrate within our existing equipment.

In addition to snacks the Innovation Centre also houses labs dedicated to the confectionery biscuit, breakfast cereal and bakery industries.
