Herba Ingredients has opened a state-of-the-art production line for protein and starch concentrates. The investment of EUR 10 m responds to the trend for plant-based and gluten-free ingredients.

With this latest production line, the company increases its production capacity for its pea and faba bean concentrates and also expands on its pulse flours portfolio. With the set-up of pulse production lines, the company is one of the few pulse ingredient companies that controls the complete supply chain, from the field to high-value ingredients.

Herba Ingredients is the allergen-free ingredients division of the Ebro Group, a global food manufacturer in the rice and pasta industry. Located in Belgium, the company supplies all types of plant-based protein and starch ingredients.
