Friesland Foods Kievit expands Indonesian capacity

Friesland Foods Kievit is investing $27 million to grow its food ingredients spray-drying capacity in Salatiga, Central Java, Indonesia.

The spray-drying and encapsulation company says the move is in response to growing sales of creamers and higher-added value specialty ingredients such as nutritional oil powders for instant drinks, soups and sauces, bakery supplies, infant formulas and enhanced nutrition products for the Asian market.

Friesland Foods Kievit opened a new sales office in Salatiga on 1 January 2007.
