Maximize Value, Reduce Waste

Masterclass

20 November 2025 - 21 November 2025

Maximizing Operational Value in Food Ingredients Manufacturing

This two-day masterclass takes a deep dive into the operational capabilities of food ingredients producers, with a special focus on the technological and organizational resilience of manufacturing sites. Key topics include:

  • Reducing waste and maximizing value across production processes
  • Staffing strategies that support continuity and agility
  • Emerging technologies that help lower energy consumption and CO₂ emissions

Industry experts and professionals from the food ingredients sector will share valuable insights and real-world experiences on how to drive efficiency and sustainability in operations.

Energy Efficiency in Action

On the second day, participants will visit a leading technology supplier to explore innovative solutions for significantly improving energy efficiency in manufacturing. The program also includes an exclusive visit to an IFFI-affiliated company. Together with operations executives, we’ll reflect on the previous day’s insights and translate them into practical strategies for day-to-day operations.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be on par with the latest insights, connect with like-minded peers, and be informed with ways to increase the resilience of your operations!
