About

About Palsgaard, Inc. About Palsgaard Emulsifiers. It’s our whole world. At Palsgaard, our world is plant-based food emulsifiers and has been for over 100 years. And just like emulsifiers, we’re proud to say that we play a small but crucial role in delivering delicious foods to a growing population. We also offer our responsibly produced, custom-tailored solutions to non-food markets such as polymers and personal care. Since our founder Einar Viggo Schou invented the plant-based food emulsifier in 1917, an agile and entrepreneurial spirit has powered everything we do. Our food technology experts across seven global application centers are dedicated to using our understanding of emulsifiers to drive constant innovation and empower the international food industry to explore new trends. Committed to responsibility In 1908, long before Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) was ever a thing, our founder established an enduring culture of responsibility, loyalty, and respect at Palsgaard. This meant caring for and celebrating our heart-working colleagues, their families, and our local communities. It’s a commitment that continues to fuel our drive to make Palsgaard a great place to work. More than food Our dual-use emulsifiers also serve as plant-based personal care ingredients and polymer additives, which are rapidly emerging as effective, safe, and sustainable alternatives to conventional additive chemistry. By providing anti-static and anti-fog features, they not only help keep food packaging clean and attractive, but also keep food fresh for longer, and help reduce food waste. Throughout history, humans have cherished their skin, embracing natural ingredients for cleansing, protecting, hydrating, and beautifying. From ancient cold creams to today’s elaborate routines with elixirs, toners, and essences, skincare has evolved. With a legacy dating back to 1917 as pioneers of modern food emulsifiers, Palsgaard has forged an enduring path in harnessing the potential of plant-based additives. Our expertise extends into personal care ingredients, empowering manufacturers to create exceptional products that effortlessly align with rigorous regulatory, customer, and consumer expectations.
