Proliver expands and recruits
1 Oct 2019Proliver is going to invest an additional 6 million euros at its site in Olen. The producer of high-quality chicken protein powders and broths boosts its capacity considerably. The production areas, warehouses and offices will be expanded. Moreover, there is also the installation of an additional 20 meter high spray dryer.
“The size of this investment emphasizes our ambition to respond to the rapid growth in demand from our customers. Such as the production of insect proteins for sports nutrition that should start in 2020. ”says Pascal Verbinnen, owner and CEO of Proliver.
“Proliver mainly extracts clean label
natural ingredients from chicken and turkey for the food industry. This is a
high-tech process based on enzymatic hydrolysis in which the nutritional value
of the proteins and peptides remains intact. These protein boosters and
functional proteins are then used in the food industry to replace a large
number of synthetic ingredients that are nowadays less and less accepted by
consumers and the food industry, ”says Pascal Verbinnen.
Increasing capacity also leads to an
increase in the number of production teams. And that creates additional
employment. For example, today Proliver is already looking for 1 full-time
industrial engineer and 3 additional operators within the three-shift system.
At the moment, the expansion works are
in full preparation to achieve a nearly doubling of production capacity by
2020.
Proliver was founded in 2010 and
exports its protein, meat and broth powders for the food industry worldwide.
The developed production process aims to provide an answer to the global
protein shortage by pursuing a zero waste policy.
Recently, new proteins for premium pet
food were added to the range.
