Puratos Announces First Dedicated Bakery Glaze Plant in the US
Puratos US, a global leader in innovative bakery, patisserie, and chocolate ingredients, announced plans to open the first dedicated bakery glaze plant in the United States by 2025.
With the incorporation of the new bakery glaze plant, Puratos will further fortify the capacity of its landmark product, Sunset Glaze, a plant-based and allergen-free egg wash alternative known for its shine, color and easy cleaning.
The new plant will be built in the heart of the company’s main US campus in Pennsauken, New Jersey, adding a local presence to the company’s extensive global glaze network with well-established sites in Mexico, Belgium, and Italy. This prime location will further strengthen Puratos’ operational capabilities and serve as a regional hub to support customers.
“The strategic decision to establish a new glaze production site in the United States is in line with Puratos’ strategy to be close to our customers and help them be successful with their businesses,” said Andrew Brimacombe, President of Puratos USA. “This investment addresses a clear and growing market need for local, sustainable supply of egg wash alternatives in the world’s largest bakery market.”
The facility will also embed sustainability throughout, with a 100% solar roof, LED lighting and on-site electrical charging for vehicles.
