DSM and Bühler launch first NutriRice facility in China
DSM and Bühler announced the opening of Wuxi NutriRice® Co. Ltd, a production facility operated in a joint venture between Bühler and DSM. This facility - the first commercial scale production of its kind in the world - produces NutriRice®: nutritional enriched rice kernels to be mixed with natural rice that are produced via a patented process that protects the stability of the nutrients while at the same time ensuring high bio-availability and good taste. Wuxi NutriRice Co. Ltd. will market the enriched rice kernels (NutriRice®) to rice millers working closely with not only rice mills but also retailers to introduce the concept and benefits of NutriRice® enriched rice to consumers.
The newly opened facility will start production as of August 2007. It will start with limited capacity, which is sufficient to enrich approximately 80,000 tonnes of rice. As it is the first facility of its kind, it is primarily intended for market development and it is anticipated that the capacity will be increased in the coming years.
