Engineering

At GELITA, we take pride in our Engineering department, which offers a wide range of exciting projects and a global community of engineers with diverse technical backgrounds and high expertise. From daily business and continuous improvement in Production to major global CAPEX projects, our engineers play a pivotal role in driving technical excellence and providing impetus for the ongoing development of existing and innovative, sometimes even breakthrough technologies in our unique industry. 

With a combination of our Global Engineering, Process Development & Technologies department and local engineering capacities in our country organizations and plants, we are set to meet local requirements and leverage the collective expertise of our global community. Our Headquarters, with New Platform Technologies, and our Biotech Hub in Frankfurt, serve as innovation hubs. Additionally, we have several small pilot plants in various geographies to develop and test new processes. 

To facilitate collaboration, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement across our global organization, we have established expert networks and groups within our Engineering department. These include our Global Competence Centers, which are divided into different raw materials. In addition, we are proud to have established the Young Professionals Network (YPN) at GELITA, dedicated to nurturing and preparing the next generation of engineers. Since 2018, over 100 young professionals have participated in our two-year global development cycle, gaining valuable insights into gelatin production and collagen peptides while exploring possible career paths. 

In some geographies we have also established cooperations with local universities to further qualify young engineers, offering them a unique opportunity to combine theoretical knowledge with practical experience in our industry.

Working with GELITA, in the technically challenging and interesting industry of gelatin production, you will encounter different raw materials and unique processes. Your technical skills and expertise will be put to the test as you find innovative solutions to optimize our processes and enhance product quality.
