Ohly Americas (former Provesta Flavor Ingredients), a subsidiary of ABF Ingredients, celebrates with a Grand Opening on September 18th the new yeast extract operations at their plant in Boyceville, Wisconsin. A series of investments to expand the Boyceville facility to become a dual flavor ingredients and yeast extracts manufacturing facility have now been concluded.
A major step for Ohly Americas is the expansion of its product portfolio. Previously only torula extracts were manufactured at the Hutchinson, MN facility. The new yeast extract operations at Boyceville allows the manufacture of products based on brewer´s, baker´s and torula yeast. These products are primarily used as ingredients for the flavor and savory food markets.
The expansions include indoor processing equipment, external raw material and product storage silos, a new warehouse as well as a new state of the art factory linked pilot plant. The research and development facilities will also be used for protein based food products and will be operated in co-operation with its sister company Protient, another subsidiary of ABF Ingredients.
Robert Rouwenhorst, Head of Proteins Division of ABF Ingredients says, “These investments will strengthen our abilities to develop and manufacture protein and yeast based derivatives designed for the food and nutrition markets.”
