100+ years of emulsifiers
Our story begins
Einar Viggo Schou returns to Denmark after a successful margarine venture in England and purchases the Palsgaard Manor.
An invention is made
Einar Viggo Schou invents the Palsgaard Emulsion Oil which solves a problem which had pained the margarine industry for decades: How to mix oil and water. Via Schou’s invention of the industrial plant-based food emulsifier margarine manufacturers gained the ability to improve the quality of their products, simplify their production methods, extend shelf life, and provide consumers with a safer cooking experience with less spattering
A factory is built
Production company Emulsion A/S, later Palsgaard A/S is established at Palsgaard.
We become international
International expansion begins as our Dutch factory, Emulsion Holland, now Palsgaard Netherlands, opens in Zierikzee
From family to foundation-owned company
In order to safeguard his companies, Herbert Schou, son and successor to Einar Viggo Schou creates the Schou Foundation and subsequently transfers the ownership of all his companies to the Schou Foundation.
We expand in Asia
A new emulsifier factory with an annual capacity of 20,000 MT is built in Malaysia.

Workplace of the Year
Palsgaard is honoured with the prestigious "Årets Arbejdsplads 2023" (Workplace of the Year 2023) award by Danish labour union 3F. This esteemed award recognizes companies that are particularly dedicated to fostering excellent working conditions and workplaces in Denmark.
About Palsgaard
At Palsgaard, we specialise in plant-based food emulsifiers, a field we've led for over 100 years. Our small yet crucial role in delivering delicious foods extends to non-food markets such as polymers and personal care.
A Century of Expertise
Since our founder Einar Viggo Schou invented the plant-based emulsifier in 1917, we've driven innovation through our seven global application centres.
Our food technology experts are dedicated to using our understanding of emulsifiers to drive constant innovation and empower the international food industry to explore new trends.
Nexus, our R&D sister company, advances emulsifier technology with significant scientific freedom, ensuring innovative solutions for Palsgaard's diverse applications.
Impactful Emulsifiers
Emulsifiers blend incompatible ingredients like water, oil, and air, significantly enhancing product quality. They enable stable emulsions, prevent oil separation, and control aeration and viscosity in bakery, confectionery, dairy, ice cream, margarine, and plant-based foods. Combined with stabilisers, they improve texture, mouthfeel, and shelf-life while supporting healthier food options.
Committed to Responsibility
Since 1908, we've fostered a culture of responsibility, loyalty, and respect, celebrating our colleagues, families, and communities. Our ambition drives responsible sourcing, reduced energy consumption, and CO2 emissions. We address societal challenges such as food waste and safety and offer RSPO SG-certified emulsifiers.
Beyond Food
Our emulsifiers also serve personal care and polymer markets, providing safe, sustainable alternatives to conventional additives. They enhance food packaging and help reduce food waste.
Owned by the Schou Foundation, we have nearly 700 colleagues in 17 countries and six factories on four continents.
Join us in shaping the future of plant-based emulsifiers at Palsgaard.
