The Fusion Culinary Center Difference

Our people. Our processes. Our facility.

Culinary vision with technical know-how.
As important as culinary innovation is, it’s just one part of the equation. Having the R&D capabilities to scale up new ides for manufacturing is a point of difference we take pride in. Our approach is to embrace “culinology” the science of bringing together great culinary ideas with the technology to bring them to life. We succeed by having a team of people with the culinary vision to create, and the technical savvy to make concepts operationally feasible.

Large company process. Small company flexibility.
We combine the capabilities of a large company – rigid food safety standards, culinary ideation, trend identification and stringent quality assurance – with a personal, responsive and flexible approach of a small company. That combination allows us to be more than a supplier to our customers: it gives us the ability to be a true partner and develop long-term customer supplier relationships. Whether we’re working with you to develop a new menu item, or providing a tried-and-true customer favorite, you can count on us to deliver.

The center of our culinary innovation.
At the heart of our innovation and creativity is the Fusion Culinary Center, a cutting-edge R&D center located at our Lakeville, Minnesota facility. The culinary center was designed to support new product development of our own branded products, as well as to support the development of our customer’s needs. A team of industry experts work together in our dynamic facility to develop and launch innovative new frozen food products. The culinary center features focus group facilities, which allows us to easily test new product concepts and gain valuable feedback. We also offer a customer lounge to provide a comfortable working environment for our visiting customers.
