Development and modernization takes place all the time and everywhere in today's society. Although we handle and slices hard cheese in the same way that we did decades ago. The way we handle cheese nowadays is not only unhealthy, but can also be a difficult moment for some people. The goals to develop a functional, modern and food-approved kitchen tool adapted to today’s society are the main factors for this bachelor thesis. Along with stakeholders for the project, the requests and demands set up for the prototype progressively have been worked out. Wellknown methods and market surveys have been used to ensure the need of the product. Researches in relevant subjects have also shown that the market is in need of a new product. The product called CASEUS has after studies shown to have a broad target group. The name CASEUS, came from the Latin word for cheese (Caseus) and from the English word case, as the product will be like a case around the cheese. The kitchen tool is designed with a simple mechanical solution, in a hygienic material. The handle is designed according to EU: s standard dimensions for handles. Therefore, it is considered suitable for the majority of the population in Sweden. Thus, there is a market for the product both at hotels and restaurants, as well as in private households. In the final stage of the project a prototype of CASEUS has been produced by Havd Group, which is a stakeholder in the project. The prototype has been funded by a scholarship and contributions from ALMI Business partner. To be able to continue with CASEUS after the end of the project, new possible working paths have been investigated. With promotion, more scholarship or a collaboration with an existing manufacturer in the industry, the project team hopes to be able to get CASEUS out on the market.
