The People Behind BrandNewTaste

From the source to the table.

Every solution we create begins long before Flavour & Fresh Creations, Ingredients and Formulation it starts with the raw materials themselves. Our strength lies in working as deep as possible within the supply chain: understanding the origin of each ingredient, defining specifications and declarations, and engineering the performance needed for each application.

With expertise across product design, taste development, innovation and technical documentation, we guide customers through the entire journey. From concept to commercial reality, every step is managed in-house at our TasteHouse in Hilversum, the Netherlands.

Driven by founder Robert Strik, our team of dedicated Taste Workers and technical specialists: Ronald, Thijmen, Marco and the broader BrandNewTaste team each strong in their own field, combines entrepreneurial drive with technical precision.
