Charis Innovative Food Services Ltd was established as the commercial arm of the Charis Initiative, a bilateral venture employing the complementary resources and expertise of The Hannah Research Institute and The Scottish Agricultural College. The other arm of this initiative, Charis Food Research is a division of The Hannah Research Institute and operates as a charity, developing platform technologies and providing technical support to Charis Innovative Food Services Ltd where required.

Charis recognise the constant need for innovation and added value faced by companies in the food and beverage sector. The requirements of individual companies will also vary considerably with size, product type and other factors. In order to accommodate this diversity, they have broken the New Product Development (NPD) process into a series of component steps. This process, call FOODTRACK, allows charis to tailor NPD projects very precisely to customer requirements. They have the resources to undertake full management of NPD projects or intervene in key specialist activities.

Charis on-site facilities are supported by their own team of specialists, augmented, where necessary, by over 30 leading-edge research scientists, technologists and technical staff from Charis Food Research, and a network of external contacts.
