GoodMills Innovation has increased its capacity to produce plant-based ingredients following the completion of a new production tower at its site in Hamburg, Germany.
‘Tower III,’ the result of a multi-million euro investment, hosts a fully automated production process combining extrusion, texturization, wet defibering and hydrothermal product refinement.
The project underlines GoodMills Innovation’s mission to play a ‘visionary role’ in shaping the plant-based F&B market, and establish itself as a ‘centre of excellence’ for the texturization of plant-based proteins for use in vegetarian and vegan products.
The new facilities on 2,500-square-metres of production space, spread over seven levels, are ready after three years of construction. The central location of the 42-metre-tall Tower III gives GoodMills Innovation direct access to grinding and speciality mill products from the group’s sister company, Aurora Mühle Hamburg, as well as seaport access.
Katharina Haack, head of marketing communications at GoodMills Innovation, said: “Plant-based nutrition is a building block towards a more sustainable future. And this is where we want to make a major contribution.”
“Our raw materials enable manufacturers to produce high-quality meat and fish alternatives on an industrial scale, all of which are convincing in terms of taste, sensory properties and nutritional physiology. Only in this way can plant-based products gain an even greater market share.”
