World Technology Ingredients (WTI) Inc. has begun construction on Wolf’s Customer Experience Center, a new corporate facility and innovation hub scheduled to open in spring 2026 in Jefferson, Georgia. The center will serve as a collaborative space for research, product development, and customer engagement, supporting WTI’s focus on food safety, quality, and naturally derived ingredient technologies.

A Hub for Research and Collaboration on Natural, Functional Ingredients

Wolf’s Customer Experience Center will feature three integrated environments designed to accelerate innovation and strengthen partnerships:

1. Application Lab: A fully equipped research and development (R&D) lab where customers can work alongside WTI food scientists to test antimicrobials, antioxidants, sodium reduction systems, and phosphate alternatives in real-world formulations
2. Test Kitchen: A culinary space for concept development, sensory evaluation, and live demonstrations, enabling rapid transition from ideation to commercialization
3. Experience and Collaboration Hub: A modern setting for workshops, training, and customer meetings, fostering hands-on problem solving and knowledge sharing.

The spaces aim to help customers shorten development timelines, validate ingredient performance, and explore new technologies while maintaining high standards for food safety and quality.
