Kemin expands research and development facilities
Kemin Industries Inc will begin building in Herentals, Belgium, a new innovation and technology centre.
The facility is expected to complete construction in March 2010, adding 1,700 square metres of laboratory space for the Kemin Europe team.
The new centre will enable Kemin Europe to expand existing research and development activities as well as pioneer a new wave of science in addition of several specialty labs and pilot test facilities.
The new centre is designed to allow teamwork across functions within Kemin's research and development team, according to Athan Katsanos, president of Kemin Agrifoods Europe.
The new facility will also house Kemin Europe's Product Application Department to support innovation across departments for increased efficiency.
