By earning the Factory of the Future Award once again, Nuscience reinforces its position as a forward-looking player in animal nutrition. The recognition reflects the company’s strong focus on digital transformation, collaboration and sustainable manufacturing practices.
Nuscience, part of the Royal Agrifirm Group, has received the Factory of the Future Award for the third time. This award recognises forward-looking companies that are preparing for the challenges of Industry 5.0 through seven key transformation areas: Advanced Manufacturing, Digital Factory, Eco Factory, Integrated Engineering, Human-Centered Organisation, Smart Factory and Networked Factory.
Based in Belgium, Nuscience develops and produces premixes, concentrates, mineral blends, young animal feeds and functional ingredients for pigs, poultry and cattle. With a strong focus on scientific expertise, innovation and sustainability, the company supports farmers and feed producers worldwide in improving animal health, performance, and efficiency.
COLLABORATION AND KNOWLEDGE SHARING AT THE CORE
The production site in Drongen plays a key role in this recognition. For years, the factory has been an important hub within Royal Agrifirm Group’s international operations. The company emphasizes that it is proud of the people who work there every day: colleagues from production, logistics, quality, maintenance, engineering, R&D and support services.
According to the statement, at Nuscience, improvements do not come from the top down, but grow out of collaboration, dialogue and shared responsibility across teams and departments. These processes are deliberately used as benchmarking moments, whereby insights from within and outside the sector are quickly translated to the workplace. Food safety and flexibility towards customers are central to this approach. Thanks to advanced digitization, Nuscience guarantees optimal traceability and can respond quickly to constantly changing market demands. The company says that employees play a crucial role in this and are closely involved in all improvement and innovation projects, contributing to a people-centered and team-driven company culture.
POSITIVE SIGNAL FOR THE SECTOR
The Factory of the Future Awards are of great importance for Belgian food companies in a context of increasing complexity and international competition.
Nuscience notes that this recognition confirms that the company is on the right track and places not only the company itself, but also the wider sector in a positive light. Each year, the Belgian site welcomes hundreds of visitors from all over the world, who discover how digitalisation, innovation and collaboration go hand in hand.
For Nuscience, the award is an incentive to continue evolving and to further strengthen its role as a knowledge partner within the animal feed industry.
