Danisco Flavours, part of Danish food ingredients firm Danisco, has announced that it is moving Danisco Sweden AB’s production to Danisco’s large flavour headquarters in Louvain-la-Neuve in Belgium.
“The move is part of Danisco Flavours’ consolidation as a consequence of competition in the area. We have to have the right set-up and combine our knowledge to ensure profitability,” said Flemming Lyngholm, managing director of Danisco Sweden AB.
Danisco said moving the Swedish flavours site will ensure improved profitability and place production closer to Danisco’s research centre. The move, which will result in the loss of up to 72 jobs, is also aimed at strengthening Danisco’s position on the global flavours market.
In Sweden, Danisco Sweden AB will retain a focused sales unit in Norrköping, which will continue to maintain daily contact with Danisco Flavours’ customers on the Nordic market as well as the Baltic States and Russia.
The company said it expects production in Norrköping to cease on 1 April 2005.
