Pilot Plant Rental

MTL operates an ultra modern pilot plant covering 3,000 sq. metres floor area. Our facility contains the most up-to-date and versatile pilot scale processing equipment.

While the plant was established around Dairy processing technologies, it now has a wide range of capabilities in general food and food ingredient development.

MTL is arranged in a modular structure of self- contained processing areas. This guarantees single client access and total confidentiality.
