The site

The plant is running 24 hours a day, seven days a week and produces Crystalline Xylose. The site employs around 40 people, most of whom in production.

History

The plant was established in 1996 by Finnish Cultor to produce Xylose, the precursor of the sweetener Xylitol. Xylitol is recovered from a side stream of an adjacent pulp mill. The production of Xylose is based on Danisco Sweeteners’s own process technology.
