Maxx Performance will open an R&D and manufacturing facility in Roanoke, VA, creating a projected 12-15 jobs over the next three years and investing up to $700,000 in equipment. The company provides microencapsulation/encapsulation technologies used by manufacturers of baked products, confectionery goods, dairy or meat products, nutritional supplements and animal feed. Products mask taste and off-odors, extend shelf life and enhance flavor and texture to help manufacturers overcome application and processing challenges, optimize product delivery and improve time-to-market. The facility will house a state-of-the-art application test center where customers can evaluate ingredients in their products and develop formulations that can be scaled up.
