Cognis has expanded its sterol ester production capacities with a €10 million investment at its plant in Illertissen, Germany. The new facility at the company’s international Nutrition & Health Competence Center will be used for the production of premium grade plant sterol esters. Food manufacturers will now be able to incorporate these ingredients without any further processing, which Cognis claims makes the production process for functional foods much simpler for manufacturers.
