DKSH opens innovation center in Thailand

DKSH, a Market Expansion Services Group with a focus on Asia, has recently commissioned an innovation center to introduce new concepts and ingredients to the confectionery and bakery industry in Bangkok, Thailand.

The new facility allows DKSH to work even closer with key suppliers in Southeast Asia to predict market trends and to offer concrete solutions with critical advantages for customers.

"It is not about keeping-up with market trends, but how to direct the market and leap ahead of the competition," says David Macdonald, global VP Food & Beverage Industry at the company.

The new innovation center has an electric oven for baking with precise heat, a proofing cabinet for automatic temperature and humidity control for bread applications, an ice cream maker for blending with capacity up to five liter per batch, and a mixer and kneader for blending diverse bakery applications.

The new center is the sixth facility the Swiss-based company opened at its Bangkok site.
