Our DNA

INNOVATING & ANTICIPATING

Innovation equals growth

Borde understands that innovation is the key to the company’s growth. Each year Borde creates packaging and processing improvements and offers unique new products: culinary aids, freeze-dried wild mushrooms.

Anticipating market needs

Influenced by trends in the restaurant and food-service industry, consumer trends evolve and become dominant trends such as snacking, unstructured mealtimes, and the demand for healthy products. Borde welcomes these market evolutions with its innovative new products. Meanwhile, partnerships with chefs allow the company to test and maximise our offerings.
