The investment includes one of the largest ultra-cold storages in the US, as well as pelletising production rooms. The new Madison facilities are expected to go into operation in August 2010 to meet the growing US demand for frozen Direct Vat Inoculants (DVI) cultures of the highest quality standard.
The investment is part of the recently announced $90m that will be invested by Danisco to expand its cultures capacity worldwide.
“In addition to the capacity expansion, this investment will deeply remodel our Madison site,” said Eloi Fontaine, plant manager. “It will allow us to optimise production and logistics flows using best-in-class food safety standards and improve overall working conditions.”
The planned expansion will increase the surface of the Madison manufacturing site by nearly a third, with a new shipping area, offices, maintenance shop as well as the new storage and pelletising area.
