Synergy Flavors to Build New Campus

Synergy Flavors, Inc. is establishing a new flavor innovation and manufacturing campus, less than a mile from its current facility in Wauconda, Ill. The new campus will sit on 15 acres of land and utilize an existing building that will be modified and expanded into a 125,000-square-foot facility. The facility will be designed in parallel with LEED Certification Standards governed by the Green Building Institute to align with Synergy's Sustainability Platform and further Synergy's reputation as an industry leader in corporate social responsibility. 

The company is expanding due to increased production and staff additions in key technical, commercial, production and engineering roles. Its growth has come from expansion in key markets such as bakery, confection, dairy, ready-to-drink beverages, dry drinks, nutritional and savory products.

The campus will feature an Innovation Center, including flavor and applications development labs, a demonstration kitchen, sensory testing labs, and analytical and pilot plant facilities. Operationally, the expanded facility will include new automation to improve liquid processing and packaging efficiencies and further capabilities in dry production, including substantial expansion of its spray drying facility.

Synergy expects the facility to be fully operational by the end of 2012.
