Supporting nutrition product development through collaborative R&D
At SIRIO Europe, innovation is central to how we support formulation and product development activities. Our R&D teams work across multiple centres and specialised disciplines, providing technical support throughout the nutrition product lifecycle. We collaborate closely with clients to apply established development processes and technical expertise, from early formulation work through to production readiness.
R&D expertise
Across the SIRIO Group, you will meet diverse experts with experience across formulation, product development, chemistry and nutrition. Our teams bring market and technical understanding to support development activities across the regions in which our clients operate.
Our R&D disciplines
For us, strong manufacturing capabilities are complemented by a focus on research and development. We apply innovation and commercial understanding to support clients as they adapt their portfolios and products to evolving market needs. Our R&D teams are ready to support development activities across specialist disciplines, including dosage form research, product development, project management and packaging technology.
Ingredients research
Our dedicated team of experts focuses on exploring and evaluating ingredients to support formulation development in line with defined quality and project requirements.
Consumer insights and market research
We recognise the importance of understanding consumer preferences and market dynamics. Our consumer insights and market research methodologies help inform product development decisions and formulation strategies.
Formulation and product development
Innovation starts with the right formulation. Our R&D team supports the development of customised formulations, designed in line with defined quality attributes and product specifications.
Lab scale prototyping
Precision is an important part of the development process. We carry out lab-scale prototyping to support evaluation and refinement of formulations prior to scale-up.
Analytical method development
Analytical methods support our R&D activities. We develop and apply robust analytical approaches to support product evaluation and process understanding.
Sensory evaluation
We pay close attention to the sensory aspects of products, including taste, texture and appearance, to ensure alignment with defined technical and formulation criteria.
Stability testing
Stability testing is conducted as part of the development process to assess product integrity under defined conditions throughout the intended shelf life.
