The expansion will see the plant multiply its total capacity in glucose syrups, with the business looking to take advantage of increasing demand in a growing part of Europe.
This development is part of the project announced at Tate & Lyle’s preliminary results in May 2009, to expand the Slovakian plant in order to supply the increased EU isoglucose quota.
Located in the corn belt of Europe, the Boleraz plant, part of Tate & Lyle’s Eaststarch joint venture, benefits from the area’s attractive agronomics as well as superior economies of scale.
“With the extension, we’ll gain processing flexibility which will enable us to develop even more varieties of glucose syrups and isoglucose blends in order to offer the tailored solutions our customers require,” said Beata Endre, product manager, liquid sweeteners.
