US: Tate & Lyle reopens its sucralose facility
(beveragemanager.net) - Tate & Lyle announces the reopening of its McIntosh, Splenda Sucralose production facility. The re-start in US, reinforces Tate & Lyle’s position as the leading global provider of sucralose.
The McIntosh facility was the original manufacturing facility for the company`s global Splenda Sucralose business, but was mothballed in 2009 when Tate & Lyle achieved a breakthrough in manufacturing yields at its Singapore facility. The restart of production at McIntosh, which took place ahead of schedule, was assisted by the return of many of the previous employees at the facility.
“Tate & Lyle’s continuing investment in sucralose manufacturing technology means that our two large scale Splenda Sucralose facilities in the U.S. and Singapore both operate at a level of efficiency, environmental stewardship and sustainability surpassed by none, and have the highest standards of quality, traceability and reliability for our customers,” said Olivier Rigaud, President, Specialty Food Ingredients.
Tate & Lyle reported good sales growth in its speciality food & beverage ingredients business, such as for sucralose, across its financial year, while its bulk sweetener volumes were helped by the higher price of competing sugar. (bmg)
