GEA is constructing a large-scale mixing plant for Symrise in Germany, which will boost the company's liquid flavor production capacity by up to 50%. This new plant aims to enhance flexibility and efficiency in manufacturing processes, allowing Symrise to meet increasing demands in the food and beverage sector. Scheduled for completion in spring 2026, the plant will handle various raw materials, including alcohol-based solutions, citrus oils, and viscous syrups, all of which require specialized handling.

At the core of the new plant will be a mixing area where raw materials will be processed using vacuum conveying systems and specialized filling nozzles. The facility will also feature energy-efficient technologies such as a heat recovery system to reduce overall energy consumption and minimize environmental impact. With tailored solutions for handling complex ingredients, the plant will support Symrise's ability to adapt quickly to market trends, particularly the growing demand for natural and clean-label ingredients.
