Flavours manufacturer Matrix Flavours & Fragrances has announced it has expanded its flavours manufacturing facility in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Matrix has added a third manufacturing building to its current six-acre site, and the building will serve as a dedicated flavours manufacturing site.
The 100,000 square metre building will include three manufacturing stories. Each floor will have a specialised role, one floor will support powder, one liquid production and one warehousing.
Matrix claims that the new building houses a semi auto-dosing machine for the compounding of flavours, and this technology will help to streamline the production process, increasing efficiency.
The company sells its range of flavourings, seasonings and emulsifiers in 54 countries, and Matrix says that growing demand in these markets has made the expansion a necessary step.
Dr. Tina Tan, senior general manager for the group said: It is a momentous achievement for Matrix to build this facility, to support the continued growth of our flavours and fragrances division.
“With this state-of-the-art facility, we are able to better serve our customers through maximizing productivity, streamlining manufacturing processes in a cost-effective manner, whilst maintaining strict quality flavours that our customers are used to.
“We have always aimed to be a leading flavour manufacturer in the region –this building represents a step closer towards that vision.’
