This CHF10m investment increases the capacity of Barry Callebaut’s centre of competence for beverages for producing spray dried products by up to 50%, the company said.
With the capacity extension at its specialty production site, Barry Callebaut will be able to grow the company’s gourmet and specialties products business, serving professional users with convenient products offered under a variety of beverages brands.
The newly installed spray tower will commence production in December 2011. The capacity increase will partly be used for fulfilling a long-term supply agreement Barry Callebaut signed with an international specialty coffee company at the end of 2010.
Juergen Steinemann, CEO Barry Callebaut, said: “The inauguration of the new spray tower in Kågeröd marks another important milestone in growing our gourmet and specialties products business. In the last decade we have continuously invested in our beverages business and built an innovative centre of competence in the south of Sweden.”
