Danisco opens new enzyme units in India

// 11 mar 2008

Danisco is opening up two new separate manufacturing units for functional systems and for enzymes to serve South-Asian customers.

The industrial enzymes segment, of an estimated worth of USD 75 million, is a quickly growing market in India. Danisco wants to seize this opportunity by opening an enzyme manufacturing plant, operated by its Genencor enzyme division.

The plant will primarily produce enzyme blends to service the markets of animal nutrition, food and beverages, fuel ethanol, grain processing, laundry detergents and textiles.
