Stabilizer manufacturer on the growth path

Stern-Wywiol Gruppe is on the growth path, and its subsidiary Hydrosol GmbH & Co. KG made a significant contribution to the family-owned company’s revenue in 2015, which increased by 12 percent to reach €444 million.  

According to Stern-Wywiol, it will be expanding the production capacity for Hydrosol products in the coming year.  Hydrosol focuses on tailor-made stabiliser systems for dairy products, ice cream and desserts, delicatessen and ready meals, as well as meat, sausage and fish products.

Managing Director Dr Matthias Moser said, “Our production plant is one of the most modern of its kind in Europe, and our capacity as it stands is 30,000 tonnes of ingredients a year. Our customers in over 50 countries expect the best, and in order to provide it to them with the highest level of innovation, flexibility and service, we are now investing in a second facility located in close proximity to the existing one. The ground-breaking will take place soon, and production will start during the coming year.”

Hydrosol has followed a long-term growth strategy, with sustained investments at home and abroad. In addition to its production facilities, the Technology Center is an example of this. This research and development center has extensive test facilities and pilot plant for dairy products, deli foods, meat and fish products and other food categories, and is being continually expanded. “These foresighted investments, coupled with the flexibility and reliability of an owner-operated company and the creative expertise of our staff, are central to our success,” said Dr Moser.
