DuPont Beijing facility starts probiotics production

The new site in Beijing denotes DuPont Nutrition & Health’s first step in packaging probiotics into ready-to-market formats. With it, the company will be able to offer its customers better speed to market, quality and flexibility.

In 2011, DuPont purchased a food processing plant north of Beijing and converted it into a new cutting-edge probiotic blending and packaging site to serve dietary supplement and food and beverage customers globally and more specifically China and the Asia Pacific region. The investment is part of a global multi-year capacity expansion programme for cultures and probiotics in the United States, Europe and now in China.

“Probiotics is a fast-growing segment of our business and the industry is experiencing double-digit growth rates annually around the world and in China,” said Fabienne Saadane-Oaks, vice president Health and Protection, DuPont Nutrition & Health. “As we continue to support the world’s growing population, this expansion allows us to custom blend and package high-quality probiotic products for our customers in the fast-growing dietary supplement and food and beverage industries close to our customers, where we want to be.”

At this facility, ready-to-market probiotic formulations consisting of Danisco? HOWARU? premium and FloraFIT? custom probiotic brands, will be available. DuPont will run the processing of these products to ensure standards for food safety and quality are thoroughly met. At the same time, the probiotic cultures will be coming from the company’s North American and European sites.

“This expansion is a further reinforcement of the DuPont long-standing commitment to China, our customers and consumers. We are in action to help address some major challenges facing the world, among those is the need for nutritious and quality food, resulted from population growth and urbanization,” added Tony Su, president, DuPont Greater China.
