Synergy plans new flavor innovation center
14 March 2011: Synergy, a flavors and yeast extract company, is planning to set up a new flavor innovation and manufacturing facility near its current site at Wauconda, Illinois, north of Chicago.
The site, which will be fully operational by December 2010, will feature an Innovation Center which will include flavor and applications development labs, a demonstration kitchen, sensory testing labs, and analytical and pilot plant facilities.
The centre to come up on a 15-acre site will incorporate an existing building that will be modified and expanded into a 1,25,000-sq ft facility. The campus will be designed in parallel with LEED Certification Standards governed by the Green Building Institute to align with Synergy's Sustainability Platform.
The expanded facility will include new automation to improve liquid processing and packaging efficiencies. The company also plans to add further capabilities in dry production such as expanding its spray drying facility.
