"Innovation is translating ideas or requirements into new products, applications or services. In our case at Rousselot, this means working with gelatin, collagens and decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM), materials that can be used to create added value or solutions on the market."

"Listening to the market and our customers is an important part of developing materials that can deliver that kind of value. Only by listening to the customer and following market developments can we develop products and product ranges that are relevant. This can also mean developing specific products for specific customers: hence the term customization. The voice of the market and the customer are very important in innovation."
