Ohly opens new yeast extracts plant in China

HARBIN is the location of the new $50-million Ohly yeast extracts plant, which has the capacity to produce in excess of 15,000 tonnes of yeast extracts for the international food and fermentation markets. The official opening ceremony was held on Saturday, 11th September, with local authorities, customers and employees in attendance. "This is a logical expansion to our Ohly Yeast Specialties business which gives us a global manufacturing footprint to complement our existing plants in Europe and the USA. We now have global supply chain capability for our customers around the world," said ABF Ingredients CEO Stephen Catling. Last year Ohly opened a new application centre in Shanghai, which works in close co-operation with similar centres in Boyceville, Wisconsin, USA, and Hamburg, Germany. "The yeast extract market continues to grow, especially in the Asian region, and we are now well placed to meet this demand more efficiently through both our technical support and manufacturing facilities, " Ohly CEO Robert Rouwenhorst said.Nike Kyrie 5
