Azelis, a service provider in the specialty chemicals and food ingredients industry, has opened a food laboratory in Cairo, Egypt. The new lab reinforces Azelis’ Food and Nutrition presence in the Middle East and Africa, and will enable the company to provide more innovation and technical support to customers in the region.
 
While fully equipped to service a variety of food segments, the lab will focus primarily on dairy and beverages, to complement the other Azelis food and nutrition laboratories across the EMEA [Europe, Middle East, and Africa] region and worldwide. The lab team has begun formulating for customers, and will hold regular seminars and training sessions.
 
“We are very happy to have this new application laboratory in Egypt, focusing on dairy and beverages. The lab is equipped with modern technology to best support our customers. We will utilize our lateral value chain and our skilled technical staff to bring new, innovative formulations to the market,” said Mattar Mattar, country manager, Azelis Egypt.
 
“Azelis continues to grow its presence and investments in the MEA region, and we’re proud to have this new state-of-the-art facility to improve and optimize our formulations. This lab is a great complement to our other food and nutrition laboratories in the region, and allows us to serve our customers even better,” said Patrick Finan, Azelis food and nutrition market segment director, MEA.
 
Azelis has over 60 application labs around the world, each dedicated to a single market segment.
