About Zutora
Zutora has been active in industrial software development, liquid measurements, process control and automation since 2014. We accumulated decades of experience in the sugar industry, especially with the crystallization process. Our solutions help dozens of sugar manufacturers around the World to make better products in a more efficient process.
It all started in 1998 when Dr. Lajos Rózsa, grandfather of Zutora co-founder and CEO Jakab Rózsa developed the novel SeedMaster device. This was the first instrument in the World, that could provide a reliable online supersaturation signal. Dr. Rózsa realized, that supersaturation was too important a parameter to be left neglected. After the international success of SeedMaster, Dr. Rózsa strengthened the ties with K-Patents and worked on further perfecting sugar crystallization control. In 2014 Dr. Lajos and Jakab Rózsa founded Zutora – a company that provides liquid measurement instruments in Hungary and innovative technology to the worldwide sugar industry. Later, Dr. Lajos Rózsa retired from Zutora.
Starting from 2016, a new team has been built in the company: Péter, Barna, Gergő and Jakab offer industrial software development, automation, and process control services to Zutora’s clients. We cooperate with Vaisala in the development of their new instruments and work on our own products as well. In 2021 we introduced SeedMaster-4, which implements the latest technology in supersaturation calculation and crystallization control. We are proud to have a global partnership with Vaisala in the sugar industry.
