Engineering for a better world
How Carlsberg keeps 10,000 valves in play
At Carlsberg’s Fredericia brewery, GEA VARIVENT valves are part of a long-game strategy. By reusing core valve bodies, retrofitting actuators and control tops, and planning maintenance around brewing seasons, Carlsberg extends asset life, reduces downtime and supports its ambitious water and sustainability targets.
A new recipe for indulgence
What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
GEA and Pulmuone honor generations of cold noodle craftmanship
When plant-forward South Korean food producer Pulmuone brought GEA the challenge of developing a modern spin on the traditional chewy cold (naengmyeon) noodle, GEA’s R&D experts were up to the challenge. They helped develop what is now a commercial hit produced with less water and electricity than previously existing methods. The result is also true to the traditional origins of the dish as well as Pulmuone’s health, well-being and sustainability roots.

Exploring the water footprint of milk, cheese, chocolate & more
We have compiled for you the amount of water it takes to produce favorite brunch ingredients. As our freshwater resources are increasingly threatened by climate change and pollution, we at GEA are working on technologies to help reduce water consumption and wastewater volumes in industry on a large scale, especially in dairy and food production.
Precision fermentation advances sustainable dairy
A quiet revolution is happening behind the dairy aisle. Dairy farms are going high tech to achieve new levels of efficiency, plant-based alternatives are gaining market share, and now precision fermentation is enabling animal-free dairy products that look, taste and feel like the real thing. For food companies looking to meet the world’s growing demand for dairy more sustainably, precision fermentation looks increasingly like a critical piece of the puzzle. Realizing its promise will depend a lot on efficient industrial-scale production.
