We have worked with Blendhub throughout the entire development process in a collaborative way, looking for the solutions that best suit our recipes and processes.
Blendhub is a platform with production centers in Spain, Colombia, Mexico and India and integrates a network of expert formulators around the world. “We identify the best ingredients and the best formulators for each client to guarantee unique and pioneering products in the market, with tailor-made solutions for each specific demand,” says Harvey Eduardo Castañeda, director of Blendhub’s production center in Colombia, where this product has been developed.
