Solvay to build China facility for vanillin

LYON, France - The international chemical group, Solvay, will build a state-of-the-art facility for vanillin in Zhenjiang city, Jiangsu, China. The production plant is expected to enhance the company's capacities by 40% and bring the Group closer to the Asian market, which is outpacing global demand for vanillin.

Solvay Aroma Performance is the world’s biggest producer of vanillin. Its facilities are in Baton Rouge in the United States and Saint-Fons in France. With the new plant in Zhenjiang, the company’s worldwide production capacities for vanillin and ethyl-vanillin will grow significantly.

The Zhenjiang facility, which is expected to go into operation in 2014, will comply with both international and local stringent regulations. This investment gives Solvay a fully integrated vanillin platform across three continents, and controls the entire production chain, from making the raw material catechol to flagship end products like Rhovanil? vanillin. A network of fully equipped food application laboratories and food technologists together with a dedicated sales force cater for specific local demands and serve clients worldwide with a complete product range to meet strict regulatory and customer safety requirements.
