Solbar completes plant acquisition in North America
The Green Planet Farms plant, which specialized in production of soy processing, was built in 2008 and includes new assembly lines and modern equipment and technology to produce soy protein isolate at the highest quality. The plant was built with the goal of using an eco-friendly process that separates protein from oil without the use of chemicals.
“We are very proud of this strategic move to purchase the factory to manufacture isolated soy protein in the USA,” says Shaul Shelach, Solbar president and CEO. “This purchase will significantly take Solbar forward in our manufacturing and sales capabilities within the main target market in the USA. It will help the company leverage our leading technology and our innovative products for beverages and extruded protein snacks towards the large clients in the USA market. The company keeps strengthening its competitiveness in the main target markets, USA and Asia, and enjoys growing demand for advanced soy products from the health and nutrition market as well as from the meat industry. Solbar has high expectations from the purchase of the factory in the USA and from deepening its penetration into the US market, and I'm confident that this step will lead the company to an increase in sales worth tens of millions of dollars in the next few years.”
