GNT Group has opened a new facility at its headquarters in Mierlo, The Netherlands, boosting the company’s production capacity of Colouring Foods by nearly 100%. The designated task of the additional unit is the creation of finished products including filling and packaging, using fruit, vegetable and plant concentrates delivered by other GNT plants. This recent expansion enables GNT to respond to the globally increasing demand for natural color solutions.

GNT’s new 2.500 square meter facility leverages latest technologies, increasing efficiency and ensuring various environmental benefits. The new state of the art mixing and filling systems work largely automated, augmenting the maximum batch size of Colouring Foods to 25.000 kilograms. In addition, the production time is vastly reduced and the flexibility is improved.

With the new facility GNT did not only increase capacities for existing products but also for new product lines and future innovations. The company can now also answer the increasing demand to the recently introduced EXBERRY OD, an oil dispersible product suitable for fat- and oil-based foods.
