To meet local bakeries’ increasing demands, Mühlenchemie GmbH & Co. KG, Ahrensburg, Germany, and its long-standing distribution partner ABP, Ankara, Turkey, have opened a production plant for flour improvers and flour fortification premixes in Izmir, Turkey. The joint venture is intended to meet the challenges facing flour improvement in Turkey and neighboring regions.
ABP has been Mühlenchemie’s distribution partner since 1992. The two firms have now established the joint venture ABP Mühlenchemie Gıda Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi as an equal partnership. The new company has set up a research and production facility of its own to be in a better position to meet the needs of the region’s milling industry. By doing so, it has cleared the way for sustainable growth in Turkey.
