Sovereign Flavors Texas Builds Out New R&D Lab!
At Sovereign Flavors, we are always striving to better serve our customers, and we’re thrilled to share some exciting news! Our brand-new Research & Development (R&D) lab in Kyle, Texas, is on track to open its doors in just a few short weeks. This state-of-the-art facility will enhance our capabilities, allowing us to continue delivering top-quality flavor solutions tailored to meet the diverse needs of our customers in the greater Austin area.
Expanding Our Capabilities
With the addition of our talented new R&D Manager, Lauren Muhlberger, we’re bringing exceptional expertise to our team. As a Senior Certified Flavorist with extensive knowledge in spray-dried flavors, custom taste modification formulation, terpenes, and reaction flavors, Lauren is poised to take our new lab to the next level. Her vast experience will help us unlock new possibilities for customers seeking advanced and innovative flavor solutions.
Lauren shared her excitement about joining Sovereign Flavors, stating that being part of such an amazing team is both an honor and a privilege. She expressed enthusiasm for contributing to the company’s growth, saying, “The new R&D laboratory will be just as stunning as our existing facility, featuring state-of-the-art technology designed to better serve our customers. Customer service and flavor creation go hand in hand, and I cannot wait to help our customers succeed as we continue to grow!”
A Thoughtfully Designed Facility
Our new Texas R&D lab is the result of years of experience and innovation. The design of this facility builds upon the foundation of our Santa Ana location, where we integrated the best ideas and advanced features from labs we’ve worked in or toured. The Texas lab takes that concept even further, incorporating everything we’ve learned over the past few years. This continuous refinement ensures that our team has the best possible environment to create and develop cutting-edge flavor solutions for our customers.
A Major Milestone for Sovereign Flavors
As the facility takes shape, our CEO, David Ames, shares his enthusiasm about this significant milestone:
"This new R&D facility represents a major step forward for Sovereign Flavors and our commitment to innovation. By expanding our capabilities, we’re not only investing in our company’s future but also in our clients’ success. We’re excited to provide an even higher level of service, customization, and cutting-edge flavor solutions. I can’t wait to see the impact this space will have on our partnerships and the industry as a whole."
We’re looking forward to welcoming our customers and partners to our new Texas facility soon. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the grand opening!
