Jordan
A central technical hub supporting customer development, formulation work, application trials, demonstrations, and collaboration across multiple categories.
Beyond Ingredients
Labs & Facilities
Where ideas become working products.
Finan’s application laboratories give customers and technical teams a dedicated environment in which to formulate, test, compare, and refine products.
Our facilities support practical collaboration across key food and beverage applications. They allow ingredient functionality to be evaluated within complete formulations and provide a more efficient path from an initial idea to a solution ready for further scale-up.
Our application laboratory network
Finan currently operates application laboratories in:
Lebanon
A local application facility supporting customers with trials, product development, technical evaluation, and solutions adapted to market requirements.
Iraq
An application laboratory with dairy pilot capabilities, enabling practical development and testing closer to customers and their production environments.
What happens in our labs?
Formulation and Prototyping
Develop initial samples and evaluate different ingredient combinations against a defined product brief.
Comparative Trials
Compare alternative ingredients, dosages, systems, or processing approaches under controlled conditions.
Application Testing
Assess ingredient functionality within the intended application rather than relying only on theoretical specifications.
Troubleshooting Trials
Reproduce a product or process challenge where possible, test potential causes, and evaluate practical corrective approaches.
Sensory Evaluation
Review attributes such as taste, aroma, texture, appearance, and overall product experience during the development process.
Customer Demonstrations
Show ingredient functionality and application possibilities through practical demonstrations conducted with Finan specialists and, where relevant, our global partners.
Training and Knowledge Sharing
Host focused technical sessions that help customer teams understand ingredient behavior, formulation principles, and application opportunities.
Built for collaboration
Customers are invited to work directly with our technical teams in the laboratories. Depending on the project, the process may include:
- Define Agree on the product objective, target attributes, process conditions, and commercial considerations.
- Prepare Select suitable ingredient options and establish an initial trial plan.
- Develop Create and compare formulations in the appropriate application environment.
- Evaluate Review technical performance and sensory results together.
- Refine Adjust the formulation and prepare the most promising route for scale-up.
Connected to a broader regional infrastructure
Our laboratories form part of Finan’s wider regional platform of offices, warehouses, technical specialists, commercial teams, and international ingredient partners. This connection helps move projects from product development toward sourcing, implementation, and ongoing support.
