20 NEWS MILLER / MARCH 2020 ADM expands the production of non-GMO soy protein concentrate at its facility in Eu- ropoort, Netherlands. This production expansion adds to ADM’s vast plant-based protein ingredient portfolio. ADM to expand European production of non-GMO protein concentrate In order to meet the significant growing demand for high quality plant-based proteins in the European market, Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) is expanding the produ- ction of non-GMO soy protein concentrate at its facility in Europoort, Netherlands. The Europoort facility recent- ly started producing non-GMO soy protein concentrate, which is available as a powder and will be suitable for all types of food applications. With ADM’s comprehensive ingredient pantry and unparalleled expertise, ADM can provide customers not only with soy protein as a standa- lone ingredient but can also help incorporate it into ta- ilored nutrition solutions to satisfy growing market and consumer trends. This production expansion adds to ADM’s vast plant-based protein ingredient portfolio, which combined with ADM’s extensive expertise in systems, flavors and application development, helps give customers an edge in creating the latest food and beverage product innova- tions. “We know that the one thing consumers aren’t wil- ling to compromise on is taste, and as the only company that can provide both plant-based protein ingredients and flavor systems and solutions, ADM is a one-stop solution to help customers meet the growing demand in this mar- ket,” Perujo said. “With more consumers adopting a Flexitarian diet, the need for plant-based solutions continues to grow in Euro- pe,” says George Perujo, Product Management EMEAI, ADM Human Nutrition. “And besides being conscious about sourcing, Europeans are more likely to pay attenti- on to the non-GMO status of their ingredients, so Euro- pean origination and production was an important factor when we were considering options for this expansion. The Europoort facility has long-standing technological capabilities as well as a proven track record in the produc- tion of soy protein concentrate, so it was the ideal choice for this expansion.”
