The state-of-the-art 150,000-square-foot facility will be Farmina’s first facility outside Europe, and is expected to create at least 200 jobs.

Lecithin, derived primarily from soybeans, serves as an effective emulsifier and stabiliser in compound feeds and is prized for its cost-efficiency and functionality in large-scale operations.
By producing locally, European Protein expects to slash delivery times and freight costs, boosting its competitiveness in Southeast Asia.
The SORTEX AI700 brings a new level of precision, food safety, and operational efficiency to the grain processing sector.
