AAK expands production capacity for Infant Nutrition

AAK expands capacity further for the production of InFat™ at its factory in Karlshamn. This product has been successfully introduced to the Infant Nutrition industry by Advanced Lipids, the Joint Venture between AAK and Enzymotec. It is produced in an unique enzymatic interesterification process and has proven to be a very effective and appreciated addition to Infant Formulas.

AAK opened its current state of the art factory for the manufacture of Infat™ in Karlshamn in 2008. The sales of the product has since then enjoyed a dramatic increase and the factory expansion will enable AAK to increase the production even more to meet expectations for continued strong growth in Advanced Lipids the coming years.

“We are very pleased about the success of AAK so far in specialty oils for Infant Nutrition as well as to see how betapalmitate products develop in the market”, says Renald Mackintosh, Vice President AarhusKarlshamn AB.
