Successful food innovations today rarely emerge in isolation. They are the result of close collaboration, deep technological understanding, and the ability to translate complex requirements into marketable recipes—while simultaneously ensuring a reliable and stable supply chain. 

This is precisely where our long-standing and proven partnership with DP Supply comes in. For many years, we have been united by a close and trusting cooperation characterized by a direct and continuous exchange between development, application technology, and the market. This proximity creates the foundation for developing new products together with our customers and optimizing existing recipes—especially when challenges arise during ongoing use. In the event of difficulties within existing supply chains, we also support our customers with matching projects. Thanks to our extensive experience, the implementation rate for these projects is exceptionally high. Our partnership stands for continuity, technological depth, and practical solutions.

Technological Excellence: When Formulation Becomes a Key Competency 

Modern functional ingredients are much more than mere standard raw materials. They form central building blocks of complex systems in which fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and emulsifiers must be precisely coordinated. DP Supply works closely with the processing industry to achieve exactly this balance. 

The focus is on developing spray-dried, emulsified specialty products tailored to the respective application: 

  • System Understanding Instead of Individual Components: The targeted combination of specialty fats, proteins, dairy derivatives, and carbohydrates creates functional solutions with consistent, reproducible performance. 
  • Process Reliability Through Technology: In-depth expertise in emulsion production and spray drying makes it possible to convert liquid systems into shelf-stable, easy-to-dose powders—without compromising on taste or mouthfeel. 
  • Tailor-Made Functionality: Whether stable or intentionally unstable emulsions, whitening effects, foaming, or a creamy texture—products are consistently adapted to the requirements of the end application. 

This deep formulation know-how proves to be a decisive success factor for finding fast, targeted solutions, especially during new developments or matching projects. 

 

Applications: A Versatile Portfolio for Diverse End Products 

The strength of the portfolio lies in its extraordinary breadth and flexibility. A variety of coordinated product groups allows for the reliable realization of diverse applications—from proven standard recipes to innovative, trend-driven concepts. 

At the heart of it all is a central question: Which solution achieves the optimal result under real production conditions?

  • Beverages: Creamer and foamer systems ensure stable emulsions, uniform whitening, balanced taste, and—depending on requirements—controlled foam formation. Key parameters include water hardness, dosage, and desired mouthfeel. 
  • Desserts & Ice Cream: Functional fat and emulsion systems enable defined overrun values, stable air distribution, and the desired texture—from Crème Suisse and mousse to Crème Chantilly. 
  • Savoury & Convenience: In sauces, soups, or purees, these products provide creaminess, stability, and a harmonious mouthfeel while contributing to the reduction of process losses. 
  • Baked Goods: In cakes, fillings, and other bakery applications, they improve volume, crumb, aeration, and sensory properties—in both classic recipes and plant-based concepts. 

Thanks to the diverse combination possibilities, tailor-made solutions can be developed for almost any application that are both technically convincing and economically efficient.

 

Development & Matching Competence: Added Value Where It Matters 

The particular value of our partnership is evident when things get demanding: 

  • In new product developments
  • In recipe revisions
  • In matching projects
  • When existing raw materials do not perform as expected in the production process or final product. 

In such cases, we draw on our collective expertise in application technology, market understanding, and product development. 

 

Your partner for application-specific and supply chain challenges 

In a market environment increasingly characterized by complexity and tight deadlines, reliable expertise is becoming a decisive competitive advantage. Our long-standing collaboration with DP Supply embodies precisely this reliability – combined with innovative strength and a deep understanding of real customer requirements.  

A Partnership with Impact

Behind every functional product lies more than just a specification. The interplay of experience, technology, and close collaboration is crucial. This interplay is what defines our partnership – and you benefit from it. Whether for new developments, optimization projects, or urgent challenges in existing formulations or supply chains: We think along with you, test alongside you, and develop the right solution together.
