Your Nutrition Bar Partner
While we may be known for our wide range of bar ingredients and deep knowledge of the bar category, we also offer bar development services. At our Innovation & Collaboration Center in Twin Falls, our R&D team is ready with the ingredients, equipment, and expertise for a fast turnaround of new bar development. One CPG company in need of R&D support quickly learned the difference between an ingredient supplier and a true partner.
Bar Case Study: Speed to Market
A large CPG company, faced with a tight timeline, came to us for help in developing a new protein bar fast. The marketing team knew just what it wanted, but the company had limited R&D time. After a discussion with the company to review nutrition targets and other project parameters, we scheduled a time to meet at our Innovation & Collaboration Center.
Our R&D staff evaluated the criteria and did the necessary pre-work in advance of the visit. With ingredients on-hand and preliminary formulations ready, our R&D team met with the customer, who arrived onsite to begin working side by side with us. After two days of working together, the customer left with five formulations in hand.
The customer was able to conduct a plant trial in a mere three months. And no changes were needed--a first for the customer! Due to our R&D team’s extensive experience in bar ingredients and processing, the team was able to produce solid formulations that delivered on taste, texture, and nutrition the first time around.
Two months later, the protein bars were on the shelf, with retailer demand up the following month. Our customer recognized that collaborating with us not only sped up the launch but gave the customer a winning product. Another satisfied customer!
