Kalsec has announced the grand opening of its new finishing and distribution centre in Suffolk, UK, taking place during a special event on Wednesday 21 August 2024.

The grand opening event will be held from 11am until 2pm, and will include Kalsec’s executives and leadership team. The 8,000-square-foot centre will join Kalsec’s existing campus of facilities operating in Suffolk for the past 29 years, which include administrative, manufacturing, quality control, quality assurance and distribution functions.

According to the natural ingredients supplier, the new The Mildenhall Finishing & Distribution Centre will improve service capabilities for European customers by providing flexibility, increased localised options and improved delivery times. Alongside this, it is expected to improve supply chain sustainability metrics through local sourcing, production and distribution of products.

Robert Wheeler, CEO at Kalsec, said: “We have been investing aggressively over the past several years to expand our presence and operations in Europe with the goal to fully support our savoury food and brewed beverage customers in this important region”.

He added: “The opening of our Mildenhall Finishing & Distribution Centre completes the final major milestone in this plan and demonstrates our continued commitment to provide a highly responsive and personalised customer experience”.

The new UK site will be complemented by Kalsec’s operations in the Netherlands, which include a distribution warehouse and R&D facility located at Wageningen University.

“With this investment, we are thrilled to build on our commitment to our European customers to help them solve their toughest challenges and launch delicious, exciting new products that their customers will love,” Wheeler concluded.
