Natural food and beverage ingredients supplier Kalsec Inc. announced the grand opening of its Mildenhall Finishing & Distribution center, located in the United Kingdom at Merlin Park, Fred Dannett Road, Mildenhall, Suffolk, IP28 7RD. A ribbon cutting/grand opening event was held on Wednesday, Aug. 21, and included Kalsec executives and leadership onsite available for interviews.
The Mildenhall Finishing & Distribution center will improve service capabilities for Kalsec’s European customers by providing flexibility, increased localized options, and improved delivery times. Alongside this, the European facility will help Kalsec improve supply chain sustainability metrics through local sourcing, production, and distribution of products.
“We have been investing aggressively over the past several years to expand our presence and operations in Europe with the goal to fully support our savory food and brewed beverage customers in this important region. The opening of our Mildenhall Finishing & Distribution center completes the final major milestone in this plan and demonstrates our continued commitment to provide a highly responsive and personalized customer experience,” said Robert Wheeler, chief executive officer of Kalsec.
The 8,000sq-ft facility joins Kalsec’s comprehensive campus of facilities operating in Suffolk for the past 29 years, which includes administrative, manufacturing, quality control, quality assurance, and distribution functions. This is supported by the company’s operations in the Netherlands including a distribution warehouse and a research and development facility located at Wageningen University.
