Emulsifier manufacturer Palsgaard A/S has recently announced a major investment of Euro 100 million (US$116 million) to more than double production capacity at its Danish facility by 2024.
This investment includes a new spray cooling tower which will add a minimum additional 30,000 tonnes to the company’s spray capacity and will be fully operational by 1st quarter 2023. This facility will be supported by the construction of multiple new reaction, distillation, and esterification plants. The expansion adds to the recently installed emulsifier pellet line with a capacity of 10,000 tonnes which is currently being commissioned.
Jakob Thøisen, Palsgaard’s CEO said, “This project is another major milestone in our development. By 2024, we will be able to double our current production capacity – something which took over a century to reach. It is the result of a decade of significant global growth for our business.”
In 2019, Palsgaard was also the first global emulsifier producer to achieve CO2-neutral production across its global facilities, leading the way for the food ingredients industry.
