Abstract
Unilever is one of the world’s leading companies in the fields of food products (eg. icecream, soups, margarines), personal products (eg. shampoos, skin care products) and detergents (eg. wash powder, wash softeners). When developing new innovative products for these areas, the means of manufacture are often not available on the market. Therefore, Unilever designs and builts prototype production equipment in a manufacturing research department called the “Technology Application Unit” (TAU).
