Nigay invests in second production site in France

19 Jul 2017 --- In order to fulfill the increasing demands of its customers, Nigay SAS has initiated a 3-year investment program of €20 million to create its second production site. Like its historical headquarters located in Feurs, it will be dedicated to the production of caramels for the food industry and will be established in the North of France.

The new Nigay industrial unit will be situated in the heart of a transformation area of agricultural raw materials used for the manufacture of its products (sucrose extracted from sugar beet and glucose syrups made from wheat and maize starch). This new location will facilitate Nigay’s supply.

Being closer to the English Channel and the North Sea ports represents a new strategic asset for the commercialization of Nigay’s caramels. This should be strengthened by the construction of the “canal Seine Nord”, which one of its multimodal platforms should be located in the immediate vicinity of Nigay.

“This carefully thought project will allow us to support the growth of our company. The new production plant will benefit from the greater experience of our 162 year old historical site located in Feurs. It will aim to be the most efficient, the most environmentally friendly and the less energy consuming possible! We wish to reiterate our approach and obtain the following certifications: ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environment), ISO 50001 (Energy), FSSC 22000 (Food Safety), OHSAS 18001 (People Safety). The beginning of the production, scheduled for 2019, will create about 20 employments. We do our utmost to ensure the development of our French know-how in order to keep creating caramels with endless possibilities,” says Henri Nigay and Yves Nigay, respectively President and CEO of the company.
