Tate & Lyle PLC announced the opening of its expanded capacity at its oat ingredients manufacturing facility in Kimstad, Sweden. The expansion, which is part of the USD 100 million investment in additional capacity for Speciality Food Ingredients announced in May 2014, means that capacity at the facility has increased more than tenfold since it was acquired by Tate & Lyle in 2013. At the facility, Tate & Lyle uses a unique patented manufacturing process, without the addition of chemicals, to transform locally sourced Swedish oats into high value ingredients such as PromOat® Beta Glucan and PrOatein Oat Protein which are used in a wide variety of food and beverages including breakfast cereals, smoothies, baked goods, bars and sports shakes. The facility also produces Avenacare Oat Beta Glucan for use in the personal care and cosmetics industries.
