This vibrant blend of herbs, spices, sesame seeds, salt, and bright citrus notes is the perfect finishing touch for just about anything. “You can use Za’atar sprinkled over hummus, eggs, roasted vegetables, or Greek yogurt for a quick blast of flavor. For a simply delicious snack, try it stirred into olive oil and serve with flatbreads. And it works wonders as a dry rub on chicken or other proteins. The options are endless!” Lindemer explains.

Palatable Protein Seasoning

Proteins have met their match with our Marrakesh Style Meat Seasoning, an intoxicating mixture of savory and sweet spices, aromatic garlic with hints of orange and honey. From ground lamb and chicken to seafood and beef, this seasoning is as versatile as it is delicious.

Custom Solutions, Too

According to Ken Wuestenfeld, vice president of sales and technical services, the strategy behind all of Fuchs’ offerings like the Middle Eastern Collection is to help food manufacturers and foodservice establishments create irresistible new items that build on culinary traditions, but that are also unique.

Fuchs North America Introduces the “Modern Comforts Collection” of Seasonings, Bases and Flavors

June 6, 2018 – Fuchs North America, a leading maker of seasonings, flavor systems and taste solutions for the food manufacturing, retail and foodservice industries, introduces the Modern Comforts Collection – a new line of comfort food inspired seasonings, bases and flavors. The collection’s 4 distinctive and flavorful seasonings offer modern twists on classic comfort food dishes.

Among the collection’s offerings are seasonings and blends for proteins, sides and dairy. These items are also the starting point for food manufacturers and foodservice establishments to develop their own unique signature product offerings, with Fuchs’ culinary specialists at their side.

The New Collection

Our new Modern Comforts Collection includes the following 4 seasoning blends:

• Cheddar & Green Chili Sauce Base
• Chocolate Malted Milkshake Seasoning
• Rio Grande Style Meat Seasoning
• Smoked Gouda & Rosemary Fry Seasoning

In introducing the collection, Shannon Cushen, Fuchs’ director of marketing, explained the strategy behind the collection. “Comfort food has made a major come back in recent years, and it doesn’t appear to be going anywhere anytime soon. Consumers turn to comfort foods in times of stress, but now they’re seeking out gourmet twists on these classic dishes,” she observes.

“Comfort foods are the foods that we grew up with; foods that make us feel nostalgic about our childhoods. They’re foods that feel inherently good because they remind us of home. Our newest collection takes popular comfort foods and modernizes them by incorporating trendy ingredients and flavors,” Cushen adds.

Fuchs helps food companies make sense of the trends and tap into where the culinary energy is strongest. In this spirit, each of the items that make up Fuchs’ Modern Comforts Collection features innovative and mouthwatering flavors that will liven up any menu item or product.

Craveable Milkshake Seasoning

Shareable Sauce Seasoning

Not only is our Cheddar & Green Chili Sauce Base particularly on-trend, but it’s also incredibly versatile. According to Lindemer, “Known by many as the ultimate comfort food, Mac & Cheese feeds not only your belly but your soul as well. So it was only natural that we would incorporate a sauce that could be used for Mac & Cheese into this collection, but we wanted to give it a bit of a twist, so we combined the traditional mild and creamy cheddar cheese with some smoky green chilies for a little extra zing! And you’ll see this sauce has many other great uses such as a quick dip or we especially love it on the Rio Grande Style Burgers!”

Shareable Dip Seasoning

Not only is our San Juan Style Sofrito Dip Seasoning particularly on-trend, but it’s also quickly become a favorite at the Fuchs headquarters.

We’ve used this as inspiration to create a seasoning to be added to sour cream for a seriously addictive dip!”

Fuchs North America Holds Grand Opening Ceremony for New Headquarters Facilities

Kelly Heck Photography 6201

Kelly Heck Photography 6164June 30, 2017 — Fuchs North America, a leading maker of seasonings, flavor systems and taste solutions for the food manufacturing, retail and foodservice industries, held a grand opening ceremony for its new headquarters facilities on Friday, June 30 in Hampstead, Md.

The mid-morning ceremony was attended by more than 150 people, including Fuchs North America employees, representatives from state and local economic development agencies, elected officials and other dignitaries.

The ceremonial ribbon cutting was conducted by Dan Cooper, CEO of Fuchs North America, Nils Meyer-Pries, Global CEO of Fuchs Group (based in Germany), and Alexander Fuchs, CIO of the Fuchs Group. Official remarks were made by Cooper, Meyer-Pries and Fuchs, among others.

According to Cooper, planning for the new headquarters facility began about four years ago, as the company was successfully growing its business and reaching capacity at its Owings Mills facility. “The move to our new headquarters was driven by the need to be able to support continued growth. With this investment in our new state-of-the-art facility and equipment, we will more than double our annual capacity,” Cooper reported.

For over half a century, Fuchs North America was operated out of its headquarters offices in Owings Mills, Md. Despite several major expansions in the 1970s and again in the 1990s, the company outgrew the facility, with little ability to expand on the remaining grown.

The new headquarters in Hampstead is situated on a 21-acre campus and increases the company’s capacity and capabilities. “Hampstead was a logical choice for our move, given its proximity to Owings Mills, as well as the good quality workforce in Carroll County,” Cooper explained.

Additionally, the new headquarters includes a number of enhanced product development functions and capabilities, most notably expanded R&D test lab facilities encompassing a microbiology lab, a quality assurance lab, plus an entirely new sensory lab along with a spacious new presentation kitchen, conducive for on-site ideation with customers.

On the manufacturing side, new or expanded capabilities include mix manufacturing, spice milling and sterilization technologies, as well as packaging and warehousing featuring the latest stock picking and inventory management technologies.

Construction of Fuchs North America’s new headquarters facility was completed in late 2016

November 15, 2016 – Fuchs North America, a leading maker of seasonings, flavor systems and taste solutions for the food manufacturing, retail and foodservice industries, introduces the Celebrate Southeast Asia Collection – a new line of distinctive seasonings, bases and flavors. The collection’s four unique and authentic items offer exciting and delectable takes on popular Southeast Asian dishes and flavors.

Among the collection’s offerings are seasonings and blends for proteins, sauces, and soups. These items are also the starting point for food manufacturers and foodservice establishments to develop their own unique signature product offerings, with Fuchs’ culinary specialists at their side.

  • Thai Style Gingered Butternut Squash Soup Base
  • Vietnamese Style Meatball Seasoning

In introducing the collection, Ken Wuestenfeld, Fuchs’s vice president of sales and technical services, explained the strategy behind the collection.

“Foods and flavors from Southeast Asia are on the rise. They’ve been permeating restaurant menus and grocery store shelves in recent years and will continue to grow in popularity,” Wuestenfeld observes.

“Americans are becoming more interested in trying new and exotic foods from all over the world. Our newest collection truly is a celebration of Southeast Asian cuisine, introducing consumers to a selection of delicious Southeast Asian inspired flavors,” he adds.

Fuchs helps food companies make sense of the trends and tap into where the culinary energy is strongest.

Elizabeth Landry, CEC, Fuchs’ corporate executive chef, worked to develop blends that meet consumers’ high expectations of authenticity. “For our Thai Style Gingered Butternut Squash Soup Base, we were inspired by Thai cuisine’s use of strongly perfumed spices and spicy flavors to recreate a fall classic with twist. This delicious vegan soup fuses naturally rich and sweet butternut squash along with creamy coconut, complex and peppery ginger and finishes with bright citrus and herbal notes,” Lindemer describes.

Seasonings for Proteins

Our Celebrate Southeast Asia Collection features two items to take protein to the next level. First is our Vietnamese Meatball Seasoning, which is reminiscent of Hanoi’s ever intriguing cuisine. It features a flavorful blend of bold spices and fragrant herbs with savory garlic and onion.

Spicy Sauce Base

Not only is our Malaysian Style Curry Laska Sauce Base organic compliant, but it’s also a vibrant addition to any side dish or entrée. “Enjoy as plain laska by simply serving noodles with the sauce, or add chicken, shrimp, bean sprouts and fresh mint for a hearty fall meal,” Lindemer suggests.
