INNOVATIONS IN ABUNDANCE

The Kalle Group is one of the world's leading suppliers of industrially produced casings and sponge cloths. Kalle casings are used in the production of meat products as well as vegetarian and vegan foods (e.g. for cheese, tofu or seitan). Kalle sponge cloths are used for household applications and in professional cleaning; they are also suitable for technical or medical applications. In addition, the portfolio includes functional ingredients, high-quality aromas, and flavorings for the food industry.

  • INNOVATIONS SINCE 1863

    The key to the success of the company, which was founded in 1863, is innovation. Kalle products have repeatedly redefined the sausage business. It all started in 1929 with the first seamless cellulose casing. Kalle offered it under the brand name Nalo as an alternative to natural casings and thus created the artificial sausage casing – the initial spark for the modern meat industry. Another innovation from the company is value-added casings – casings that replace entire production steps in food production. Today, Kalle holds hundreds of patents and continues to work on the future of the industry in initiatives such as NewFoodSystems.
