Special fats
Nutriswiss produces high-purity animal and vegetable fats for Centravo that meet both food quality and other specific quality standards. These include sterile fats, refined fats, and customer-specific formulations for the food industry, the catering sector, and retail outlets.
Our precise refinement and consistent quality assurance yield functional fats that are used in baked goods, finished products, and special industrial applications. Swiss origin, product safety, and sustainable processing multiply value for our customers.
Greaves from beef and pork
Alongside fat production, Swiss Nutrivalor processes selected pork and beef raw materials to produce high-quality greaves for Centravo. These are then used as flavor-intensive, protein- and fat-rich components in pet food, snack products, and regional specialties. Consistent raw material controls and Swiss value creation give rise to products that are clearly positioned in the field of natural proteins and fats.
Supplier to the pharmaceutical industry
Mucus obtained from processing intestines provides the raw material needed for heparin to treat thrombosis; cartilaginous mass from the tracheae and larynges of pigs and cattle is processed to obtain chondroitin sulphate – a proven active ingredient against osteoarthritis and joint disorders.
