10 February 2026
Nuscience has received the Factory of the Future Award for the third time. This award recognizes forward-looking companies that are preparing for the challenges of Industry 5.0 through seven key transformation areas: Advanced Manufacturing, Digital Factory, Eco Factory, Integrated Engineering, Human-centered organisation, Smart Factory and Networked Factory.
Based in Belgium, Nuscience is the specialist animal nutrition brand of Royal Agrifirm. From nutrition concepts and specialty feed ingredients to protein ingredients, premixes, concentrates and farm minerals — supported by formulation expertise, tools and services — the company helps producers of swine, poultry and ruminants make the right call in animal nutrition. With a strong focus on scientific expertise, innovation and sustainability, Nuscience supports farmers and feed producers worldwide in improving animal health, performance and efficiency.
Collaboration and knowledge sharing at the core
The production site in Drongen plays a key role in this recognition. For years, the factory has been an important hub within the company’s international operations. But above all, the company is proud of the people who work there every day: colleagues from production, logistics, quality, maintenance, engineering, R&D and support services.
At Nuscience, improvements do not come from the top down, but grow out of collaboration, dialogue and shared responsibility across teams and departments. These processes are deliberately used as benchmarking moments, whereby insights from within and outside the sector are quickly translated to the workplace.
Food safety and flexibility towards customers are central to this approach. Thanks to advanced digitization, Nuscience guarantees optimal traceability and can respond quickly to constantly changing market demands. Employees play a crucial role in this and are closely involved in all improvement and innovation projects, contributing to a people-centered and team-driven company culture.
Positive signal for the sector
The Factory of the Future Awards are of great importance for Belgian food companies in a context of increasing complexity and international competition.
This recognition confirms that Nuscience is on the right track and places not only the company itself, but also the wider sector in a positive light. Each year, the Belgian site welcomes hundreds of visitors from all over the world, who discover how digitalisation, innovation and collaboration go hand in hand.
For Nuscience, the award is an incentive to continue evolving and to further strengthen its role as a knowledge partner within the animal feed industry.
