Growth continues at Hamburg’s Stern-Wywiol Gruppe. With an increase of 12 percent, the company made a record 444 million euro in 2016. Its Hydrosol subsidiary was a big part of it. Hydrosol, which specializes in custom stabilising and texturing systems, is now expanding its production capacity. Managing Director Dr. Matthias Moser: “Our production plant is one of the most modern of its kind in Europe, and our capacity as it stands is 30,000 tonnes of ingredients a year. Our customers in over 50 countries expect the best, and in order to provide it to them with the highest level of innovation, flexibility and service, we are now investing in a second facility located in close proximity to the existing one. The production will start next year.”
