Danisco Cultures to expand its Madison (USA) plant capacity

Danisco Cultures recently launched two CHOOZIT DVI ranges for Pasta Filata and American style cheeses.

05/07/06 Danisco Cultures will invest 9 Million USD to expand the frozen cultures capacity of its Madison plant in the US.

This takes place after two other major manufacturing investments, to significantly increase the manufacturing capacity in Europe, have been announced.

“Strategically located in the heart of the Dairy Belt, Madison establishes itself as our North American hub for cultures”, says Fabienne Saadane-Oaks, President, Danisco Cultures.

“This investment will enable us to further develop our DVI frozen cultures business, particularly for the US cheese market.”

With a 3% yearly growth rate, the US cheese market is the largest and most dynamic one in the world.

In order to address this fast-evolving industry, Danisco Cultures recently launched two CHOOZIT DVI ranges for Pasta Filata and American style cheeses. Both ranges provide the convenience, flexibility and control of direct inoculation cultures, while matching the performance and cost-in-use of a traditional bulk starter.

Danisco’s Madison facility services the dairy and health market and produces both frozen and freeze-dried cultures as well as colours and flavour enzymes.

Danisco Cultures, a division of the Danisco group, produces cultures in six sites around the world: Niebüll in Germany, Sassenage, Dangé Saint Romain and Epernon in France, Olsztyn in Poland, and Madison in the United States.
