R&D power for products that impress in tests

Our size and structure are a clear advantage: we can drive developments forward quickly, optimise formulations in a targeted manner and efficiently transfer new solutions to production at our European sites. The close cooperation between the laboratory, quality assurance, sensor technology and production ensures that our products are designed for application, performance and cost-effectiveness right from the start and are appreciated by consumers.

A key success factor here is the close dovetailing with sales and category management. We develop products in line with clear market and product range requirements. Category management provides the relevant insights into consumer needs, price architectures and trends. Sales contributes the perspective of our retail customers. This collaboration ensures that new products are not only technically strong, but also have an impact on the shelves – for retail brands as well as our own brands dalli, dash and sunmed.

Independent tests regularly confirm the quality of our work: many of our products achieve very good results at European level, some achieve top rankings or receive awards. For us, this is confirmation that our research and development work is focussed on the right areas.

Our innovative strength is also evident in the area of patents. We are constantly applying for new property rights in order to secure functional advantages and offer our customers long-term product range stability and reliability. Our focus is not on the number of patents, but on the benefits – for product performance, for further development and for success in the market.

With state-of-the-art laboratories and extensive testing capacities, the dalli group’s R&D is a central component for product range performance, innovative strength and product quality – for retail companies that rely on strong, marketable solutions and stable European added value.
