GPI Opens Innovation Center for Partners and Customers to Accelerate Product Development

At GPI, innovation has always been at the heart of what we do. For over 30 years, we've been a trusted partner in the technology and manufacturing of hydrocolloids and natural antimicrobials. Today, we're excited to take that commitment to the next level with the official opening of our state-of-the-art Innovation Center.

This isn’t just a milestone for us—it’s a new opportunity for our partners to push the boundaries of what’s possible in product development.

A Collaborative Hub for R&D

The new GPI Innovation Center is designed to function as an extension of your R&D team. Whether you're developing new products, refining existing formulas, or scaling up to commercial production, our labs and expertise are at your disposal.

“We love working directly and in partnership with our customers,” said Richard Davidson, CEO of GPI. “Whether it’s plant scale-up, analytical evaluations, or custom product solutions, our team is here to collaborate and deliver. This is the kind of strategic partner GPI strives to be.”

 

Cutting-Edge Facilities for Real-World Solutions

The center is equipped with specialized pilot plants tailored for a wide range of industries including:

• Bakery
• Confectionery
• Beverage
• Dairy
• Seafood
• Meat & Poultry

We’ve also built a commercial-grade culinary kitchen, allowing customers to go from concept to prototype in a real-world environment. Our advanced analytical tools measure everything from bacterial growth to texture and weight—giving you the insights you need to refine your products with precision.

Supporting the Future of Food and Beverage Innovation

This investment isn’t just about expanding our capabilities—it’s about supporting yours. The Innovation Center reflects our ongoing commitment to being a collaborative partner that helps bring your vision to life. It’s a space for testing, learning, iterating, and ultimately, creating market-ready solutions faster and more efficiently.
