Founded in 1931, Sluys International (Sluys) is a Duffel based manufacturer of Flavour, Drink Concentrate and Beverage Emulsion. Family owned and managed, Sluys is a purveyor of sweet flavours within the varied sub-sectors of food and beverage. Our flavours inspire alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks, ice-cream, bakery and confectionery etc.
Today, with more than 90 years of experience, team Sluys is a reflection of artists, idealists and businessmen challenging the next taste frontiers.
With core competence in beverage application, a more tailored approach service is extended to startups, brand owners and bottlers.
In human history, trails of taste can be found in art, poetry and song. What defines good taste is not a simple task. Taste is not ever static, as taste evolves over time. Taste is bordered by cultural preferences, often complex and contradictory – what is healthful, what pairs together, what is exotic or familiar. Taste is the insular cortex of the beholder!
The tastes of tomorrow are to disrupt the definition of the polymorphous sense of flavour. This is our continuous challenge. To rediscover flavour based on:
• Application & Functionality;
• Manufacturing Process;
• Provenance;
• Point of Sales/Distribution Channels; and
• Affordability to tailor the optimum taste experience.
From the synthetization of Linalool to the current trend of flavour-pairing theory, team Sluys is in the midst of an evolution to embrace the next taste frontier. Our creative laboratory will lead through digital innovation. By infusing with consumer behaviour data and industry ecosystem, Sluys believes that blockchain can reinvigorate our creative solutions, production capabilities and supply chain traceability. This will simplify and streamline our existing creative processes aka relevance tuning.
There are exciting possibilities, especially within collaboration and co-creation.
We are excited for us.
