“Despite the effects of the economic downturn, demand for glucose has stayed relatively stable over the last year. This, combined with the effects of the EU Sugar Regime reform and the fact that leading manufacturers have taken the decision to expand their central and eastern European operations, makes us confident that the newly expanded plant will be a great success,” Valentin Stanimirov, VP sales liquid sweeteners and industrial starches, said.
