At LASENOR, we are dedicated to our customers’ growth and development, providing high-quality products, training, and technical support. On May 29th and 30th, 2024, we organized an intensive training session at our Olesa de Montserrat, Spain plant. This event, aimed at our clients from Colombia, focused on margarines and their applications, reaffirming our commitment to excellence and shared knowledge.
During this two-day experience, attendees participated in guided tours, detailed presentations, and practical demonstrations, exploring everything from the basics of emulsions to the latest innovations in the margarine industry. They also had the opportunity to enjoy local culture and cuisine, thus strengthening relationships and sharing knowledge.
On the first day, after a welcome from Management and Marketing, attendees took a complete tour of our facilities, learning about the production areas for lecithin and esters. They also participated in presentations covering everything from the initial fundamentals of lecithin and emulsifiers and margarine formulation to the most advanced aspects of their manufacture. The properties of different emulsifiers used in margarine and how they affect the final product’s texture, flavor, and stability were discussed.
The second day began with a presentation on our sustainability policy, sharing Lasenor’s values and the critical sustainable development goals in our sustainability report. Subsequently, the day focused on innovation and the specific applications of margarine in the Colombian market.
We conducted interactive workshops addressing real case studies and exploring customized solutions for the unique challenges faced by our clients in Colombia. Additionally, we performed practical demonstrations in our laboratories and pilot plants, including applying High-Oleic Palm oil for margarine production.
After sharing a good meal at the Lasenor picnic area in the afternoon, they visited Blanxart, a renowned Spanish chocolate brand part of the Holdfood Group, combining traditional techniques with selecting the best cocoas in the world.
The seminar was a complete success. Clients highly valued the opportunity to expand their knowledge and skills and the possibility of establishing direct communication with our technical team. The practical sessions and interactive workshops allowed participants to apply the knowledge gained in their operations immediately.
At Lasenor, we believe that shared knowledge is critical to mutual success. Such initiatives strengthen our relationship with clients and allow us to continue innovating and adapting to market needs.
At Lasenor, we understand that our reason for being is our clients and collaborators, and that is why we want to thank everyone for their combined efforts in making this valuable space for mutual learning a reality. Lasenor, aware of this challenging yet so recent past that prevented us from meeting in person, values and expresses the highest recognition to all those here. For all this, Lasenor wishes to express its utmost gratitude for the trust and attention given, for the constructive spirit, for believing in Lasenor as a strategic partner, and for believing that Colombia and the adjacent region will continue to be a thriving region with wonderful people, dedicated work teams, and extensive technical and human capacity.
