Who we are

A development house with its own manufacturing

We do not buy in third-party articles and resell them. We formulate the recipe, we invest in the plant technology, and we answer for what ends up in the cup, the pouch or the jar.

Our own recipes

Every formulation is created in our laboratory. It belongs to the project, not to a supplier.

Our own plant technology

We finance the lines and have them installed in selected factories. They work exclusively for Mahan Foods.

Our own release

No article goes into series production before sensory analysis, analytics and declaration are documented.

How we work

From the idea to the finished article

Five steps that belong together here. You can join at any point, even with a finished recipe.
01

Idea and briefing

You describe the product, the target group and the price window. We assess what is technically and legally feasible.
02

Recipe

Our laboratory formulates until taste, texture and shelf life are right.
03

Sampling

You receive real samples from the pilot plant, not just a data sheet.
04

Testing and release

Sensory analysis, analytics and labelling are documented and released.
05

Production and market

Manufacturing takes place on our lines. We prepare presentation and market entry together.

Development focus

Where we make the difference

Three areas in which we have built capacity of our own. They interlock: here a product is not developed one step after another, but in parallel.

Recipe and sensory analysis

Formulation, flavour profile and stability, developed for series production, not for the display cabinet.

Brand and presentation

Brand identity, material, format and mandatory information are created together with the recipe.

Specification and release

Every batch is checked against a documented specification. The responsibility stays with us.
Headquarters and standards

Decisions are made in Düsseldorf

Development, quality release and commercial management come together in one place. Every project has a single point of contact.
