Palsgaard A/S

Emulsifiers. It’s our whole world. At Palsgaard, our world is plant-based emulsifiers. We’re proud to play a small but crucial role in delivering delicious foods to a growing population, and also offer our custom-tailored solutions to non-food markets such as polymers and personal care. A century of emulsifier expertise Ever since our founder Einar Viggo Schou invented the plant-based emulsifier in 1917, an agile and entrepreneurial spirit has powered our company forward. Today our experts collaborate with customers globally to produce foods with a longer shelf-life while using fewer resources, and support foods with leaner labels, less fats, salt and sugar, and free from allergens. More than food Our dual-use emulsifiers also serve as plant-based personal care ingredients and polymer additives, which are rapidly emerging as effective, safe, and sustainable alternatives to conventional additive chemistry. Committed to responsibility In 1908, long before Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) was ever a thing, our founder established a culture of responsibility, loyalty and respect at Palsgaard. This meant making business personal and taking good care of customers, colleagues and our local communities. We are actively involved in initiatives tackling food waste, safety and scarcity, and our full range of food emulsifiers is available with RSPO SG certification. Owned by Schou-Fondet (the Schou Foundation), and with more than 800 colleagues in 20 countries as well as six factories on four continents, we reported a turnover of 314 million EUR (2.3 billion DKK) in 2024.
