Major expansion at KMC Derivat

Soon after the launch of KMC’s new product lines, EmulsiForm and CheeseMaker it became evident that increased capacity at KMC's modification plant would be necessary.

Since year 2000 the production of modified potato starch at KMC Derivat – KMC’s Brande plant for modified starch production - has just about doubled and for the past 3 years the plant has worked at full capacity.

An expansion of the plant therefore seemed an obvious decision and in the early fall of 2007 plans were underway for an expansion that will more than double the present capacity at KMC Derivat. The first part of the building project – the new storage house – has been finished and the entire project is expected to be ready shortly after the start of the new 2008 campaign.

Commercial Manager Jens Helmer Larsen looks forward to this expansion and in particular to the improved ability to meet the increased requirements from the customers.
