Capol GmbH from Elmshorn/Germany, a Business Unit of Freudenberg Chemical Specialities SE & Co. KG (FCS), Munich/Germany, recently started operations of a new production line for confectionery surface treatment products at its site in Saint Hubert/Canada. With the production capacities created, the company is expanding its global presence and strengthening customer supply in the North American market. Furthermore, Capol customers will soon benefit from enhanced supply chain security due to the two separately operating production sites.

The Capol Inc. site in Saint Hubert has been part of Capol group since the acquisition of Colarôme Inc. in 2017. So far, local production facilities were primarily dedicated to the manufacturing of natural colour pigments. In the future, anti-sticking agents, glazing and sealing agents will be produced there as well. The newly created production line marks the second production site for Capol confectionery surface treatment products, adding to the
facilities in Elmshorn.
