Friday, 20 June 2008 |
 Takasago Flavors has completed extensive expansion of its flavor applications facility in Rockleigh, N.J., according to Brian Buck, vice president and general manager, Takasago International Corp. (USA) Flavor Division.
Buck described the extent of the expansion, which features two new pilot plants, one specifically designed to produce test batches of beverages.
"We are also very enthusiastic about our new food service applications laboratory, which is an ideal setting for our in-house chef's culinary creativity. It features a preparation area that duplicates what is normally found in high end restaurants, supporting our efforts to use our flavors in trend-setting menu items," said Buck. "A multi-service laboratory has been added as a dedicated area for customers and Takasago's technical team to work side by side as they partner through the product development stage of projects."
Buck pointed out that completed expansion allows for administrative space for the technical staff with plenty of room for additional staff as Takasago continues to grow.
Buck concluded, "Our multi-million dollar expansion and renovation came about because of the tremendous growth that Takasago Flavors has been experiencing here in the United States. We are delighted that although the final phase of our flavor applications is now complete, more expansion and renovation projects are being planned, always with an eye toward better serving our customers."
