XLab Wallau, Germany
We offer our customers with the XLAB a unique feature: testing under real production conditions! This is happening thanks to the possibility of cooling down to 0°C the complete hall, not just the product to slice and pack.

Giving you a jump-start
Installing and getting to know your equipment can be a struggle. Save yourself some time, by letting us validate your GEA equipment before installing it at your site. Once your machines are installed, you are ready to go.
Stay ahead with knowledge
We believe in sharing knowledge, creating partnerships and co-creation. With ingredient suppliers, universities and institutes, we define new processes, explore new food concepts and validate innovative technology.
Let’s test, remotely
We are always there for you – even at distance. So if you can’t make it to our Technology Center, we’ll just do the testing for you. We design a test based on your objectives and show you everything that happens.
