The new Sassenage manufacturing facilities will be made available gradually with full capacity being reached by the end of 2007. The plan comprises both the debottlenecking of existing manufacturing lines and a major investment in new state-of-the art equipment.
“This new investment in Sassenage is part of our global industrial strategy in line with our ambition to become the market leader in cultures,” said Fabienne Saadane-Oaks, president of Danisco Cultures. “With investments both in the freeze-dried and frozen technologies, we are able to give an adapted answer to all our customers’ requests and continue to service their growth.”
Last October, Danisco announced a capacity expansion for frozen cultures at its German site in Niebüll, to be effective at the beginning of 2006.
Freeze-dried cultures are used in the manufacture of cheese, fresh dairy products and dietary supplements.
