Chr. Hansen Expands Meat Culture Facility in Germany
The new investment is a completion of a larger project, and will ensure better capacity utilization in fermentation, as well as enhanced packaging, warehouse and distribution capabilities.
In the future, more of the company's silage inoculant cultures will be produced at the upgraded Pohlheim site, and some production is already being moved from the North American plant in Milwaukee to Pohlheim. The silage inoculant product line is a major part of Chr. Hansen's Animal Health and Nutrition business, and the company expects more than 20 percent growth in this area.
"Chr. Hansen is the first in the industry to achieve FAMI-QS (Feed Additive and preMIxtures Quality System) certification - a certification system covering feed additives that fully integrates ISO quality standards and HACCP requirements, and is in answer to the recent EU Feed Hygiene Regulation. This certification, along with the Pohlheim upgrade, means that our customers can be assured that Chr. Hansen microbials for animal health is of the top-most quality," says Steve Johnson, Director of Marketing for Animal Health and Nutrition in North America.
The fermentation line and the laboratories have already been upgraded at Pohlheim. The new investment is a completion of a larger project, and will ensure better capacity utilization in fermentation, as well as enhanced packaging, warehouse and distribution capabilities. The need for increased culture production is a result of the higher demand from more customers.
