IFF's Creation and Design Center in Türkiye was officially recognized as a key innovation center by the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Industry and Technology.
Located in Gebze and close to Istanbul, the Türkiye Creation and Design Center is said to provide end-to-end support to Turkish food and beverage manufacturers, supported by a team of 29 application scientists and houses state-of-the-art facilities such as dedicated labs for beverages, bakery, confectionery, meat and snacks, an analytical lab and pilot plants and boasts a culinary kitchen.
Upon receiving its certification, the center has collaborated with several universities and research organizations, and with customers worldwide. These partnerships have yielded several projects across bakery and beverage categories, alongside efforts in the realm of upcycling.
