Food development composition of pre-cooked rice, coated fries, seasoned protein and a culinary sauce

What we develop

Food solutions developed for commercial production.

Food solutions developed around the product, process and commercial requirements of food manufacturers.

Stainless steel commercial food processing equipment used during manufacturing scale-up.

Pre-cooked retort & shelf-stable foods

Convenience developed into the product.

Customer specific shelf-stable food systems developed around the required application, eating quality and commercial manufacturing process.

Product format
Rice, grains, pulses, ready to use gravies and curries, and multi-component food applications.
Product performance
Texture, hydration, separation, flavour and sensory quality developed around the finished application.
Manufacturing value
Reduced preparation, greater consistency and the potential to free up constrained production capacity.

Built around your application

The same capability can lead to a very different solution.

Product format, flavour, texture, process, scale and commercial requirements vary from one manufacturer to another. Our development starts with the application rather than forcing the brief into a standard specification.

How our solutions fit

Specialist inputs for the manufacturer's own finished products.

Our retort components, coatings, seasoning systems and culinary solutions are developed for integration into the customer's existing production. The manufacturer remains the finished-product producer and brand owner.

Where an input developed by Knoxx Innovations requires separate production, it is manufactured through controlled arrangements to Knoxx Innovations specifications and supplied as part of the agreed solution.

Knoxx Innovations develops the specialist system or component. The customer manufactures and markets the finished product.
