Danisco's xanthan joint venture in placeToday's closing of the 80/20 joint venture agreement between Danisco and Chinese Henan Tianguan Group Co., Ltd. for the production of xanthan significantly expands Danisco's product portfolio. 'The xanthan from our new factory in Nanyang will be supplied to the international food industry by utilising Danisco´s well-known quality control combined with our worldwide sales network, innovation centres and technical service facilities. We will focus our sales to the food industry where the main use of xanthan is as a stabilising agent in salad dressing, sauces, beverages, mayonnaise, bakery products and dairy desserts,' says Søren Olsen, Business Director Xanthan, Danisco. 'The xanthan production in Nanyang will carry on with the existing production team with support from Danisco's technical organisation. Ms. Wang Linfeng will be responsible for daily operations with her team of about 100 people. Danisco Tianguan (Nanyang) Co., Ltd. will cooperate with the global operations teams to produce the same high-quality products as the rest of Danisco,' says Li Yongjing, General Manager, Danisco Tianguan (Nanyang) Co., Ltd. Since the signing of the joint venture agreement in October 2003, Danisco has signed an agreement to take over the ingredients arm of French Rhodia, which also includes xanthan production. The French acquisition and the Chinese joint venture will consolidate Danisco's position on the xanthan market significantly. For more information, please contact:
