Company Cargill spent $5.5 million to double the capacity of its “food innovation center in Plymouth, Minnesota - the main experimental centre in North America on research in the field of packaged food and beverage.
Division of Cargill's food ingredients is one of the two largest in the world in their field, where there are the most intensive research. This branch of the company is the largest engineering and technological centers in Minnesota, China, Brazil and Belgium.
Cargill, the largest private company in the U.S., plans to place a large part of its research staff in the expanded centre.
Cargill operates research centers around the world - Belgium, Brazil and China, using a pretty interesting business model: the company helps customers quickly develop and introduce new products and reaping the financial benefits later, when sales increase.
The food innovation center will conduct research in the field of ingredients in several categories, including snacks, cereal, pastry, confectionery and especially cereals. Sales of Breakfast cereals in the United States falls as American consumers increasingly avoid food with high content of carbohydrates in favor of bars with cereals and fruit and Greek yogurt.
