CP Kelco to Build New Biogums Plant in North America
26 Nov 2015 --- CP Kelco, a leading global producer of specialty hydrocolloid solutions, today announced its intent to build a new state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in North America for gellan gum and specialty xanthan gum.
“In light of the continued increase in global demand for gellan gum and specialty xanthan gum across all regional markets, investing in a new production facility demonstrates our commitment to serve as a sustainable provider and leading innovator of these high performance products over the long term,” said Don Rubright, President of CP Kelco. CP Kelco produces gellan gum and specialty xanthan gum for use in a wide range of food, beverage and other applications across both developed economies and emerging markets.
CP Kelco made two recent major announcements at the end of September. L.V. Lomas will be its exclusive distributor for all its products sold into food, consumer and industrial applications in the United States, effective January 1, 2016. In response to the strong global demand for specialty Biogums products, CP Kelco announced plans to invest in building capabilities and expanding production capacity.
As a leading global producer of hydrocolloid solutions used in a wide range of consumer products and industrial applications, CP Kelco is reinforcing its commitment to three Biogums product lines – gellan gum, specialty xanthan gum and diutan gum – through these key operational initiatives:
•Expanding capacity for gellan gum beyond CP Kelco’s existing San Diego, California plant with additional production line capability in the company’s Okmulgee, Oklahoma facility;
•Developing new capabilities for specialty xanthan gum production in the company’s Wulian, China facility;
•Exploring options for further expansion of CP Kelco’s Biogums manufacturing footprint
In addition to the investments in new capabilities and production capacity, CP Kelco is equally committed to ensuring its Biogums products meet the high standards of quality and food safety established for all industry segments it serves.
