Major capacity increase
Palsgaard
Emulsifier manufacturer Palsgaard
A/S invests 750 million Danish Kroner
(€100m) to more than double
production capacity at its Danish
facility by 2024. A new spray cooling
tower will add a minimum additional
30,000 tons to the company’s
capacity and will be fully
operational by first quarter 2023.
This facility will be supported by
the construction of multiple new
reaction, distillation, and esterification
plants. The expansion adds
to the recently installed emulsifier
pellet line with a capacity of
10,000 tons which is currently being
commissioned.
Jakob Thøisen, Palsgaard’s CEO
said: “This project is another major
milestone in our development.
By 2024 we will be able to double
our current production capacity
– something which took over
a century to reach. It is the result
of a decade of significant global
growth for our business.”
In 2019, Palsgaard was the first
global emulsifier producer to
achieve CO2-neutral production
across its global facilities, leading
the way for the food ingredients industry.
In line with Palsgaard’s commitment
to sustainability, the new
production capacity will not compromise
the company’s CO2-neutral
status. Thøisen added: “We have a
number of new initiatives, including
establishing a solar park and a biogas
facility, which will provide the
necessary power and waste management
infrastructure to enable
the new production capacity to
also be carbon neutral. This aspect
was a very important consideration
in the planning process for the new
investment.” palsgaard.dk
