Paalsgard opens high-tech plant in Malaysia

Danish company, Palsgaard, opened its new facility in Malaysia for the production of single emulsifiers as well as a variety of emulsifiers and stabiliser blends. It has a capacity of 20,000 MT per year.

About US$36 million was invested in the modern factory, which is located in Nusajaya, Johor, in the southern part of Malaysia. The location has been chosen for its proximity to the source of raw materials, such as palm oil and its derivatives. Additionally, the infrastructure is well developed and the easy access to the harbour as well as to Palsgaard Singapore's Innovation Centre for dairy, ice cream, soya, bakery, and confectionery applications, makes the location ideal.

The factory covers an area of approx. 7300m², comprising a high tech manufacturing plant and R&D facility, laboratory, warehouse and administration centre. It is a highly automated plant with integrated energy saving functionalities to ensure the continuation of Palsgaard's dedication to CSR.

According to the company, the official opening, held on 20 August, was attended by Danish Ambassador to Malaysia, Nicolai Ruge and the Deputy Minister of Malaysia International Trade and Industry, Datuk Haji Ir Hamim Samuri, in addition to the staff from Off White X Vapormax Flair
