Jungbunzlauer Expands Port Colborne, Ontario, Production Operations

10/14/2024
Jungbunzlauer, a producer of biodegradable ingredients of natural origin, plans to expand its production operations in Port Colborne, Ontario, Canada. The $200 million project is expected to create 50 jobs.

This investment will enable the company to expand production of xanthan gum to meet rising demand in North America.

"Today marks a significant milestone for our North American business as we expand our Ontario facility here in Canada. This site not only reinforces our commitment to providing our partners with top-quality, natural bio gums but also highlights our dedication to sustainability. I want to extend my deepest gratitude to everyone whose hard work and dedication made this expansion possible and a special mention to the City and people of Port Colborne, and Invest Ontario for their support,” said Bruno Tremblay Jungbunzlauer CEO.

To support the project the Province of Ontario is providing $4.8 million in funding through the Invest Ontario Fund.

“By lowering the cost of doing business in the province by $8 billion a year, we’re showing the world that Ontario is a top jurisdiction for multinational manufacturers to invest and expand their operations,” noted Vic Fedeli, Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade. “We welcome Jungbunzlauer’s investment in Port Colborne and thank them for their continued commitment to their talented workers.”

Jungbunzlauer is a producer of high-quality, sustainable ingredients from natural sources, serving industries from food and beverage, nutrition, health, and home and personal care. The company offers a portfolio of texturants, acidulants, and minerals.

"Jungbunzlauer’s expansion demonstrates that international companies who are looking for a strategic foothold in North America will find Ontario is the best choice. As a trusted partner to business, Invest Ontario continues to focus on transformative investments that boost Ontario’s supply chains and strengthen its economic resilience, Michael Fedchyshyn Interim CEO, Invest Ontario added.
