Cargill has today (25 March) opened a flavours manufacturing plant in China to supply local and multinational dairy, bakery and confectionery groups in the country.

The US-based food giant said the facility, in the city of Pinghu, in China’s Zhejiang province, “complements” a flavours laboratory set up in Shanghai in 2007.

“The plant will enable us to react even faster to the needs of our customers, whether local Chinese manufacturers, or global customers with sites in China,” said Peter Michielsen, the head of the group’s Cargill Flavor Systems division.

“It also strengthens our worldwide flavor network where local knowledge becomes global knowledge, especially in terms of sharing expertise or spotting the rise and fall of consumer trends. At Pinghu, in particular, we will apply our knowledge in connecting base raw materials with speciality ingredients such as flavours.”
