Collège de Maisonneuve’s Institut de technologie des emballages et du génie alimentaire (ITEGA) is a college centre for technology transfer (CCTT) specializing in the agri-food sector.
Our mission is to assist businesses in developing and implementing new packaging and food processing technologies to help them increase their competitiveness and take a proactive approach to changing trends and markets.
In the context of a circular, sustainable economy promoting clean labelling, we support—with a centre that is unique in Quebec—business innovation by achieving solutions that combine the three interrelated components of a food product: its composition, its processing, and the packaging technologies that enable its preservation and distribution.
Since 2007, ITEGA has been working to improve and optimize food preservation and shelf life.
