We started our activity initially with the name of Barij Osareh Co. since 1994 as a consulting company in the food and beverage industry in relation to additives (essential oils, preservatives, antioxidants, natural food colors, etc.) and have been the exclusive agent of various companies in the field of raw materials. With the expansion of food industry companies and the increasing need of these producers for various raw materials in the country, the need for a domestic supplier for this type of raw materials became more and more important. Therefore, in order to eliminate the dependence of producers on foreign suppliers, our shareholders decided to found a production unit of raw materials in the food and beverage industry named Babolab Food Industry in 2000.
The first phase of Babolab Food Industry was founded in 2000 with the installation of modern and full automatic machines with the aim of producing a variety of Carbonated Soft Drink Base, Emulsions, Fruit Compounds and Flavoring used in the food and beverage industries. In 2004, Babolab succeeded in concluding a contract with the Swiss company “Givaudan” for the production of various emulsions. This company is one of the largest producers of flavors and essential oils in the world with more than two centuries of experience in the food industry. Therefore, with the support of the current knowledge and technology of this company and besides having experienced and specialized personnel in our R&D and Innovation units, we have been able for the first time in the country to produce and present special fruit Emulsions and Compounds for juice and fruit drinks industries.
By identifying the needs of the market and also to expand the range of our products, we decided to strengthen our position as a leader in the supply of raw materials for the beverage industry by gaining the required knowledge and technology to produce Carbonated Soft Drink Base. In addition to these products, the emergence of a new product in the market of Iran, named Energy Drinks, which attracted the attention of many consumer groups, including youth and athletes, led to the idea of producing Energy drink Compounds for producers of this type of beverage.
Since the activity of Babolab is based on innovation and attention to the needs of different consumers, efforts have been made to pay attention to the needs of the ice cream and confectionery industries along with the beverage industry. Due to the expertise of Babolab in the field of fruit processing and familiarity with the physicochemical properties of fruits and nuts, as well as the efforts of the experts of the Research and Development Unit in gaining more knowledge in this field, we have been able to quickly produce special products such as Flavored Pastes for ice cream and confectionery products.
Following extensive activities in the field of ice cream, this time our R&D team focused on the production of specialized and decorative Sauces such as Topping sauce, Ripple and Decosoft Sauce, which are widely used in products such as ice cream and desserts. Introducing a new product named Ripple Ice cream Sauce, with its freezing resistance, was able to create a revolution in ice cream industry of the country.
This time we focus on the very sensitive and at the same time high-consuming Milk and Dairy industry. Due to the special structure of milk and other dairy products and also the market need to maintain the nutritional value of these product, our experts were able to diversify and enrich these products, while maintaining and improving food quality and safety, by providing special dairy Compounds, Fruit Purees and Fruit Preparations to the producers of this industry.
Innovation again and another product line again. By constantly monitoring and evaluating the market, both inside and outside the country, and understanding the need for change in products due to changing consumer interest and tendencies, we decided to facilitate the work of ice cream producers, offer some ready-made Bases, Stabilizers and Improvers, which in addition to diversifying the products of this industry and producing different types of ice cream, gelato and sorbet, reduce their dependence on similar foreign products and be somehow time and cost-effective.
With the expansion of the tendency of young people to consume sports drinks, Babolab, rely on the knowledge of its R&D experts, has been able to immediately produce special Sports drink Compounds and Vitamin Compounds and once again prove its position in the beverage industry.
With the expansion of consumers 'tendency for natural products and the special place that natural fibers of fruits and vegetables have found in consumers' food baskets, our experts have decided to use their technology and knowledge in producing and providing fruit Preparations and Semi-Candied Fruits for consumption in the Confectionery, as well as dairy and ice cream industries.
