dsm-firmenich has opened its Princeton Baking Innovation Center in New Jersey. This new facility will help customers accelerate innovation, improve agility, and co-create applications such as breads, rolls, pastries, tortillas, cookies, and snack foods with greater speed and precision and, ultimately, enable better products for consumers. The Princeton Baking Innovation Center provides an advanced workspace with cutting-edge bakery technology to support the site's dedicated team of expert bakers, product developers, technical experts, applications scientists, flavorists, sensory scientists, marketing experts, and customer insights specialists to make baked goods tastier and healthier.
