Inspiring Partnerships
For every challenge in the market, there is an innovative product response – which we develop together with you for long-term success.
Who we are
We make sure we pay attention to everything: our market and nutrition experts know which raw ingredients and active ingredients are trendy, what is healthy and what tastes good. Together with the food experts, they turn innovative and individual ideas into creative products. Our specialists work closely with the R&D specialists of our sister companies in the Stern-Wywiol Gruppe. In order to find the best solutions for our customers’ needs, we always rely on the latest application technology, comprehensive analytics and flexible pilot systems. And once everything has been tested and approved, SternLife products are manufactured in our modern production facilities in northern Germany.
