Seven decades of flavours

Kemikalio- ja maustepalvelu began working with spices on 17 July 1948 under Osuusteurastamojen Tutkimuslaitos in Kuopio. The research institute and Kemikalio- ja maustepalvelu moved from Kuopio to Hämeenlinna at the end of 1951 and in early 1952.

In the summer of 1952, the decision was made to start manufacturing and selling the company’s own phosphate additive mixtures for meat products, which turned out to be a great success story.
