MGP Ingredients Plans Atchison, Kansas, Protein Extrusion Plant
02/22/2022
The location will help the company meet the growing demand for its ProTerra product line, while giving it more control over the manufacturing process. Construction on the $16.7 million facility will begin this summer and be completed by the end of 2023.
"Achieving in-house production of our ProTerra line of products is a meaningful investment amid growing demand and increasing outsourcing costs," said MGP CEO Dave Colo.
The extrusion plant is expected to produce up to 10 million pounds of ProTerra per year.
"Building this new extrusion plant gives MGP the capacity and flexibility required to continue to meet the growing demand for our ProTerra line of texturized proteins," said Michael Buttshaw, MGP's Vice President of Ingredient Solutions Sales and R&D. "By transitioning the manufacturing process in-house, we reduce lead times related to co-packer scheduling issues, increase flexibility related to R&D projects and enhance our ability to effectively commercialize new products."
