Kerry frees up Asian production capacity by opening Dutch plant

Kerry Ingredients & Flavours has freed up production capacity in its Asian ingredients facilities with the opening of an emulsifier plant in Zwindrecht, the Netherlands.

The expansion has effectively doubled Kerry’s European ingredients and flavours production capacity. The Kerry Group member’s facility in Malaysia will also have greater capacity to deal with anticipated growth in demand in the Asian market.

Demand for emulsifiers in Asia-Pacific countries is forecast to grow by around 9% annually from now to 2017, according to a Global Industry Analysts report.
