Indian research and business delegation visits Danisco

The “Food, Feed and Bioenergy” delegation is visiting Denmark to strengthen R&D collaborations and build partnerships between the two countries. It is made up of businessmen, scientists and officials and is headed by Dr. M.K. Bhan, Secretary, Department of Biotechnology under the Indian Ministry of Science and Technology.

The visit is important to Danisco due to our activities in India and plans to strengthen our presence in the Indian market in the coming years.
 
’We have had a presence in India for a number of years, and only this spring we expanded our activities significantly by two new production units for functional systems and enzymes. Therefore, we are very pleased to welcome the delegation to our Copenhagen headquarters to talk about our business and consolidate the excellent relationship that we have with India,’ says Tom Knutzen, CEO of Danisco.

The functional systems plant produces blends for the ice cream market in particular, but will later move on to other dairy products. The enzyme plant produces enzymes for animal feed, food and beverages, bioethanol, detergents and textiles. Both plants are located in Haryana, India.

’Food, feed and bioenergy are at the core of our business and with the potential in the Indian market, we are naturally interested in establishing contacts to build on our collaborations and research activities in the future,’ says Tom Knutzen.

With production of more than 100 million tonnes of milk a year, India is the world’s largest milk producer. Likewise, the market for industrial enzymes is growing fast in India and is currently estimated at USD 75 million.
