NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., May 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Layn Corp announced today it is on target to complete a new production facility and Global Sweetener Innovation Center by August 2017. Construction of the state-of-the-art facility began in January 2015. The facility effectively more than quadruples Layn's current annual volume of both stevia and monk fruit extract and provides Layn with the largest capacity of vertically integrated natural sweetener production globally.
The technology and equipment used in the facility offer improved yields, increased consistency and important advantages in waste reduction and overall sustainability. Layn's new facility will produce both powder extract and liquid concentrate formats of various high purity natural sweeteners with a focus on proprietary blends.
Layn's Global Innovation Center will open in Shanghai and employ a team of approximately 15 people. New sweetener and flavor development, customer formulation and application support and patents for new ingredients and processes are the focus of this center. The center will act as a headquarters for Layn's existing formulation and product development team in North America.
"As one of the pioneers in the natural high intensity sweetener industry for two decades, we've seen a significant increase in the demand from our international customer base," said Elaine Yu, President of Layn USA. "In today's environment of increasing government regulation and consumer awareness around the foods they eat, it's important that we provide the best sweetener solutions today with an eye to innovation for tomorrow. Layn is dedicated to offering these unique and innovative products to our customers. Our facility and the Global Innovation Center position Layn as the full-service one-stop-shop for anyone wanting to use natural sweeteners."
