A new manufacturing plant of LycoRed Ltd of Israel will be coming up in Changzhou, China. The plant will go into commercial production by the end of this year. The facility will produce a wide range of premixes for the food and beverage industry for nutritional fortification covering the Asian market.
LycoRed's research found that there is a growing demand for nutritional premixes in Asia Pacific, in addition to accelerated demand for Lyc-O-Mato in Japan, China and Thailand. These findings encouraged LycoRed management to build the new facility in China and to allow the company to establish and develop closer partnerships with key suppliers and provide comprehensive healthy ingredient and premix solutions.
“LycoRed is a well-known supplier of nutritional premixes for leading food companies especially, in Europe,” notes Morris Zelkha, president and CEO of LycoRed Ltd. “Building this new plant in China, coupled with our extensive plant in the UK is in line with our goal to strengthen our position in the Asia-Pacific market and become a preferred supplier of natural functional ingredients to food and beverage companies worldwide. Once we establish a relationship with a new client, it is important to be responsive to the clients need in terms of real-time return and accessibility and providing tailor-made solutions in a single location.”
LycoRed currently is completing equipment validation and securing the necessary quality certifications for production, including FSSC and MUI Halal. “Attaining FSSC 22000 Certification along with LycoRed’s high-value products highlights our ongoing commitment to providing customers with the safety, control and management of manufacturing quality products in accordance with industry expectations worldwide,” explains Zelkha. "It also increases opportunities for sustainable trade. The new plant is identical to the LycoRed plant in the UK as we want to act as global partner.”
