Plant-Ex establishes European headquarters in Poland
Plant-Ex Ingredients Ltd. has completed the second phase of its European expansion strategy with the establishment of Plant-Ex Europe in Wysogotowo, Poland, following its acquisition of Polish food technology company Aromacolors.
The new facility will serve as the company’s European headquarters for production, warehousing and sampling, whilst also functioning as a centre for regional innovation and product development in natural colours and flavours.
Seamless integration maintains customer service
According to the company, Aromacolors continues to serve its existing customer base with an enhanced portfolio that now includes additional Plant-Ex products. The initial integration has ensured uninterrupted order fulfilment whilst paving the way for expansion at the Wysogotowo site.
Expansion plans underway
The company has outlined plans to enlarge the former Aromacolors site to accommodate a modern product development laboratory and raw materials warehouse. Sampling and production for European customers will be consolidated at the Plant-Ex Europe facility, with the aim of streamlining services and reducing lead times across the region.
Plant-Ex Europe will offer comprehensive support from market insights through to customised flavour and colour solutions.
