About Viscofan

ABOUT VISCOFAN

World leader in food casings

For almost fifty years, Viscofan has helped make food accessible to millions of households worldwide through the casings we produce. Our strength comes from the technology we have developed ourselves and from a global network that reaches more than a hundred countries across every continent.

While casings remain our core business, we also apply our experience to related areas of nutrition and wellbeing: tubular plastics, edible casings, functional solutions, and nutra-medical-pharma products. We use what we know to open new paths—bringing our materials expertise to fields where food, health, and innovation meet.

Mission, vision and values

A DISTINCTIVE APPROACH

Viscofan brings together a broad range of technologies and the knowledge of its people to keep advancing how casings are made and used.

Our goal is simple: practical innovation that improves the products our customers make and the food people eat.
