Senson - One of the most northern liquid cereal & malt producing companies in the world.

The world of food and beverages is currently full of new opportunities – but along with them also challenges. Global trends such as plant-based proteins, oat drinks, gluten-free products and special or non-alcoholic beers all require innovative and natural solutions for their production.This is where we come into the picture. Our business is in adding value to food & beverages by 100% natural grain- based liquid ingredients.

Senson Ingredients offer more colour, taste, texture, nutrition, cost-efficiency or even whole new product categories for the food industry. Malting plays a key role here – malt extracts and enzymes enable the most effective and versatile utilization of the various properties of grain. Our aim is to be a committed partner for our clients and support them in creating attractive, ecologically sustainable and nutritionally sound success stories.
