Symrise completes Jinqiao F&B powder blending facility expansion and boosts production capacity and efficiency

Symrise has recently completed its F&B powder blending expansion in Jinqiao, a district of Shanghai. This marks a significant milestone in the company’s journey toward enhanced production capabilities and operational efficiency. The project underscores the commitment to safety, innovation, and delivering value to customers in the food & beverage industry.

The Jinqiao powder blending expansion is bringing transformative benefits to the F&B production process in the region. It thus aligns with the strategic goal of Symrise to strengthen its position in the dynamic Chinese market. This laid a strong foundation for improved production processes.

Further, the installation of a state-of-the-art blender in the seasoning plant upgrades the existing manufacturing capabilities. The installed equipment effectively increases the production capacity of seasonings for the local market. This is leading to improved efficiency and optimized manufacturing costs. The blender commenced production in July 2024 and marks a new era of streamlined production.
