Food Pilot Plant: R&D services for food products

At the Lahti campus, the Food Pilot Plant offers R&D services for food-sector companies to assist with product development and innovation, especially for drinks and cereal products. At pilot-scale, developing ideas towards industrial scale is flexible and efficient.

The Food Pilot Plant includes a pilot-scale test bakery and equipment for producing carbonated, plant-based drinks and alcohol. For instance, heat treatments, storage stability tests, and process-controlling laboratory analyses, textural measurements, and sensory analyses are included in our services. Additionally, our services are complemented by extraction equipment in cooperation with LUT University.
