The company
Since 1969, Belovo has experienced a steady growth of sales
and profit re-investment. In 1988, the plant was equipped with drying
facilities. Today, Belovo offers a large variety of egg powders. New custom-designed egg powders, egg oil
and phospholipids, egg yolk granules and serum, and other new food ingredients
are making their first steps on the market.
Consumer concerns about food safety have been taken very seriously under
consideration. Studies regarding lipid peroxidation have led to development of
stable egg yolk - containing egg powders with very low levels of free radicals.
In early 1996, egg white powders were made available in instant form.
Belovo egg products are distributed in more than 50 countries all over the world
and benefit from a respected brand name. Each product is carefully analyzed and
made sure to comply with strict and tightly controlled pre established
specifications. Management at Belovo is based on the ISO 9001 norm. Employees at
Belovo conform to HACCP and GMP procedures all integrated into the ISO 9001
system. Management and Executive are developing the TQM approach so as to
encompass each individual within the progressive mind of the factory.
Belovo Chemicals started some 25 years ago with the production of lysozyme.
Avidin and its derivatives have been sold to the biotech market for more than 15
years. For the last 10 years, belovo Chemicals has fueled its R&D program
with food biotechnology projects related to the cracking of the eggs.
Belovo Chemicals presents scientific news on international symposium and
exhibition as well as in the patent literature.
