Ohly Unveils New Center for Customer Innovation
Ohly, a renowned supplier of yeast-based ingredients and powders, has just launched their Customer Innovation Center, strategically positioned on the outskirts of Chicago.
The establishment is constructed to encourage meaningful collaboration with partners and customers within the food and nutrition industry. This space will be used for creating novel concepts and solutions right on the spot.
The newly constructed space comes completely furnished with a testing kitchen and sample laboratory. Stocked with the company’s full ingredient selection, the facility facilitates prompt testing and development. Additionally, it possesses machinery to simulate industry processes such as combi convection cooking, frying, snack coating, meat processing, and blast chilling.

A specialized analytical laboratory on-site provides testing for key parameters of ingredients and formulations while a variety of meeting areas promote collaboration, training, and trend presentations.
