Ingredients firm expands
Wild, a manufacturer of natural ingredients for the food and beverage industries, is expanding its facilities in Berlin, Germany and Valencia, Spain.
Last year the company purchased land from the real estate company Liegenschaftsfonds Berlin totaling around 6,500 square metres. The area is located on the Spree river and is directly opposite the company grounds. The property will be used as an additional logistics staging area initially, but ultimately it will become a production area.
The Wild Berlin portfolio includes liquid and powdered flavours. The product palette also features extracts of plants, herbs and spices as well as a wide range of tea and color extracts and formulations.
Wild also acquired three plots of land bordering on the company grounds in Valencia last year, adding a total of 11,165 square meters to the site. Wild is planning to use the additional space to facilitate truck access to the company grounds and improve traffic flow in the loading zone. Parking lots for employees and visitors are to be transferred off-site, freeing up space for a warehouse.
The Wild Valencia portfolio contains special blends of fruit juice concentrates and sweetening systems (Fruit Up, natural fruit sweeteners, multijuice sweetening systems), red colors obtained from fruits and vegetables, plant extracts and natural citrus flavours.
