Danisco to expand cultures capacity

NUTRITION and health ingredients company Danisco announced that it is expanding their production of Live Culture Inoculant (LCI) cultures in China to meet growing demand in the region for the fresh dairy and dietary supplement markets. The company has purchased a food processing plant north of Beijing, close to some major customer locations, and will convert it into a state-of-the-art blending and packaging production platform to serve the region, with commissioning expected in the fall of 2012.
The investment is part of a global Danisco multi-year capacity expansion programme for freeze-dried LCI cultures.
"This is a significant investment by Danisco, to expand our growth in China and it is evidence of our strong long-term commitment to the Chinese market and our customers," said Yongjing Li, president of the company's unit in China. No figures were provided for the investment, but Danisco said the expansion means that they are well positioned to meet increasing market demand.
