About
Company description
Palsgaard
is the world’s only full-service emulsifier and stabiliser company. It offers
sustainably produced, customer-tailored solutions for the global food industry,
as well as non-food markets such as polymers and personal care.
Emulsifiers
and stabilisers allow otherwise incompatible ingredients to be combined,
creating exciting new capabilities and functionality. This enables
manufacturers of bakery, confectionery, condiments, dairy, ice cream, margarine
and plant-based products to improve their quality, taste, mouthfeel, texture
and shelf-life, and to create better-for-you foods with leaner labels, less fat
and better nutritional value, while using fewer resources.
Since
founder Einar Viggo Schou invented the modern plant-based food emulsifier in
1917, Palsgaard has offered expertise and innovation. From its six application
centres around the world, its experienced food technologists help manufacturers
optimize existing recipes and develop delicious products with superior
nutritional profiles.
Palsgaard
enables manufacturers to meet consumer and regulatory demands for greater
responsibility, helping them grow and protect their brands. It is the world’s
only commercial source of fully sustainable emulsifiers based on RSPO
SG-certified palm oil and produced by CO2-neutral factories (scope 1 and 2) in
Denmark, the Netherlands, Mexico, Brazil, China and Malaysia. All products are
non-GMO and meet halal and kosher requirements.
Palsgaard
is owned by the Schou Foundation and has 690+ employees across 18 countries.
Its turnover in 2022 was 343 million USD (2.4 billion DKK), with products sold
to more than 120 countries. Over 400 million people consume foods containing
Palsgaard products every day.
