Lonza has expanded its capacities for Carnipure and Carniking, L-Carnitine products belonging to Lonza’s Nutrition business within Life Science Ingredients. The expansion is in line with Lonza’s long-term strategy for nutrition ingredients and will support the increasing demand for L-Carnitine applications in the food, feed and pharmaceutical industries. The new capacity will be added to Lonza’s existing facilities in Nansha, located in China’s southern province of Guangdong. The capacity will be added in phases, with the first phase expected to come on-line by the end of 2010. The new Carnipure and Carniking facility will be ISO 9001, 14001, 22000 and FAMI-QS certified and operate under the implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) principles. The new proprietary production process was invented by Lonza scientists in Visp, Switzerland, and has subsequently been filed for patent protection. For further information: www.lonza.com
