Global bioscience company Chr Hansen is planning to expand its production facilities in the US to meet growing consumer demand for products made from natural, recognisable and safe ingredients.
Under the expansion plan, Chr Hansen purchased a manufacturing facility in Mukwonago, Wisconsin, that will be used as the new North American headquarters for the company’s natural colours division.
The new facility and warehouse will be used primarily for production and R&D activities. It will also include a pilot plant, application and quality assurance labs, as well as offices that support other business functions.
"With this expansion, we are increasing production capacity and adding new capabilities, enabling us to meet the rapidly increasing demand for natural colours in North America."
Chr Hansen natural colours division acting executive vice-president Jacob Vishof Paulsen said: “This is the largest single investment for natural colours in recent years and demonstrates our commitment to the important North American market.
“Having the whole chain gathered in one place will allow for a fast and agile response to customer needs, supporting Chr Hansen’s current and future business demands for the next decade, with room to grow.”
The bioscience company intends to further strengthen its supply chain capabilities to deliver natural colour solutions to its existing and future customers.
Chr Hansen natural colours division plant manager John Veidt said: “We partner with some of the greatest food brands in the world and indeed experience a big demand for natural ingredients.
“With this expansion, we are increasing production capacity and adding new capabilities, enabling us to meet the rapidly increasing demand for natural colours in North America.”
The company is planning to take over the building next year and will hire nearly 80 employees
