Innovation at its core
Innovation is at the heart of what Provisur does. The company has two Innovation Centers – one in Chicago, Illinois, and another in Paris, France, where customers, in collaboration with Provisur engineers, product specialists and food scientists, can experiment with new formulations, brainstorm, and explore the processing options to develop tailored applications and solutions.
Collaboration between Provisur experts and customers is a mainstay of the innovation process. The company develops patented technology to meet the ever-changing needs for the food processing industry, often originating from creating tailored solutions that solve customer challenges.
