history

In 1941 the institute for food research in Munich and a sponsoring association as sponsor for the institute were founded by 7 companies, today's industrial association for food technology and packaging IVLV eV. In the course of its existence, the institute was renamed the Institute for Food Technology with a connection to the Technical University of Munich . In 1972 it was incorporated into the Fraunhofer Society as an Institute for Food Technology and Packaging. In 1998 the institute was given its current name Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV through the addition of further focal points .
