Innovation with Oak State
With over 100 years of combined research and development experience in the baking industry, Oak State’s collaborative R & D team works with our customers to develop innovative solutions for their baked good products.
Our approach to innovation is multi-faceted:
- Our R & D team keeps-up-to date on the latest trends, newest ingredients and emerging technologies in our industry.
- Prototypes of customer concepts are developed to provide our customers a visual, textural and flavor sample. Our fully-equipped R & D lab produces prototypes that closely resemble production oven baking. We have the capacity to develop cookies, bars or inclusions within the lab and present various packaging options. With Oak State’s extensive prototyping, our customers are well-informed to meet their market demands.
- We ensure all customized recipes and formulas work in mass production by conducting commercialization test runs.
- Our R & D team, supported by a seamless supply chain, works closely with Production, Engineering, and Quality teams to create a product action plan that follows the product from lab to production to grocery shelf.
We’re passionate about customer service. By combining this passion with our R & D goal of turning customers ideas into innovative, cost-effective and manufactured products, we’re confident Oak State can deliver the product you want – and ahead of schedule.
