Novozymes Expanded Tianjin Plant     

Novozymes has invested RMB380 million in additional enzyme granulation capacity at its Chinese Tianjin plant, which now officially opens on December 13th, 2010, representing that the capacity of this biorefinery plant has been expanded by three times. The plant is capable of producing various enzymes used in industries such as biofuel, food, brewing, and detergent. The extended granulation capacity allows Novozymes to produce more granulated enzymes, mainly for the detergent and food industries.
   Leaders from the Tianjin government attended the ceremony and delivered their congratulations.
   The construction of Novozymes' cGMP-approved hyaluronic acid plant in Tianjin is in full swing and is expected to come on line at the beginning of 2011, in which Novozymes spent around RMB500 million.
