Synergy Flavours has announced new investment in its business, which will enhance the company’s already significant UK-based technical capabilities. The move includes plans to expand the company’s EU headquarters in High Wycombe and the proposed relocation of its manufacturing site in Corby, Northamptonshire, to the expanded facility.
A new technical centre was unveiled in March this year at the High Wycombe site. It features modernised flavour creation labs, a sensory facility (with new fixed and mobile software) and an expanded research and analytical suite. In December, new drying technology will be commissioned that will deliver flavour solutions with superior encapsulation for the company’s international nutritional and bakery markets. Over the coming months, the site will be expanded to accommodate additional manufacturing capacity.
“We have committed to a programme of investment that’s accelerating growth through innovation and the provision of best local service for our customers,” said managing director Steve Morgan. “The new expanded High Wycombe site will provide an ever faster, more efficient service and create high value products in one location, as the output of one integrated team.”
The company is proposing that its other UK operation in Corby be transferred to High Wycombe. The proposed move is intended to be completed by autumn 2015. The company is in consultation with the staff in Corby and is working with them to minimise the effects wherever possible, providing them with alternative opportunities and outplacement support.
