Vision of innovation: R&D department at the service of our customers
At JULIÁN SOLER we know that each company and production line has specific needs. For this reason, we maintain a flexible approach. Our Research and Development department is designed to become an extension of the innovation team of our client companies, working collaboratively in the formulation and development of food products adapted to each market and target audience.
Our R&D department adds value to the new product. In every food or beverage innovation project, based on any of our white or red grape juices, our team helps the client analyze the relevant data, determine the strategies that will give the new product greater market receptivity and ensure regulatory compliance in food safety.
To achieve this, we maintain a vision of innovation with a comprehensive approach, based primarily on the following lines of action:
- We apply data-driven innovation. The food and beverage sector is a market where consumers are increasingly looking for healthy and sustainable products. We make sure that every product developed with grape juice concentrate meets these expectations of the target audience. Therefore:
- We use data analytics technologies to guide our customers in their decision making, at the product or launch level. This involves collecting large amounts of data on market trends and end-consumer behavior to interpret and anticipate demand, identify potential obstacles, reduce risks and save time to market.
- We work closely with our customers to create foods and beverages that not only offer nutritional benefits, but also appeal in terms of both taste and presentation.
- We identify how the newly designed products are perceived by the target audience. In this way we can adjust formulations and make recommendations on marketing strategies.
