Kalsec has opened a new finishing and distribution centre in Singapore as it continues to expand its international footprint to better serve F&B brands and manufacturers. Kalsec provides a portfolio of high-quality, natural ingredients for savoury food and brewed beverage applications. The new centre is located at JTC Food Hub @ Senoko in the north of Singapore – a shared facility fostering an ecosystem of players in the food industry. Kathleen Koh, VP and managing director of Kalsec Asia, said: “It is gratifying to see the accomplishment of this milestone after intense planning and great cross-functional teamwork. The new facility will have a positive impact for our customers, including faster response times and order fulfilment, especially with products in high demand in the region.” Robert Wheeler, Kalsec’s CEO, commented: “The modernised facility in Senoko is a testimony of our dedication to bring products and services closer to our customers. It is also part of Kalsec’s plan to diversify our production locations, enabling us to further strengthen our production and customer reach capabilities.” Soo Haw Yun, VP of investment facilitation for Singapore’s Economic Development Board, added: “Kalsec’s new finishing and distribution centre leverages Singapore’s strong connectivity and position as a trusted location for business and innovation to tap on the region’s growth, while diversifying Kalsec’s production bases and enhancing its overall business resilience. Kalsec’s latest investment is a valuable addition to our local ecosystem engaged in food research and manufacturing and creates exciting job opportunities for Singaporeans.” The new facility continues Kalsec’s commitment to providing even broader global services for its customers. Last month, Kalsec announced the launch of its Savoury Product Innovation Centre of Excellence in the Netherlands. During the past year, Kalsec has also announced new agreements with channel partners to expand distribution in Colombia, France, Belgium and the Netherlands, as well as its hops solutions throughout the US.
