Münzing reported the opening of its expanded production headquarters in Clover, South Carolina, . The new site increases capacity for both food-grade and industrial additives, while placing a strong focus on sustainability and food safety.

Münzing officially opened its expanded North American production headquarters in Clover, South Carolina. The new 70,339 sq ft (approx. 6,530 m²) facility is located on a 110-acre site adjacent to the company’s existing operations. It marks a strategic investment in the company’s food-grade and non-food-grade additives business in the Americas.

The expansion includes a 32,000 sq ft, 32-foot-high processing hall, a 26,800 sq ft warehouse equipped with an automated guidewire system for forklift operations, a 10,000 sq ft laboratory, 8,000 sq ft of office and welfare space, a 4,500 sq ft utility building, and a 1,300 sq ft area for tanker unloading. The site is equipped with nine dock positions and is certified under the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI).

The new facility is designed to increase Münzing’s regional production capabilities across a range of applications. Products manufactured include liquid and powder additives formulated for food use, with options for organic, non-GMO and identity-preserved processing. The expansion complements the company’s existing Clover plant, which produces defoamers for printing inks, coatings and adhesives, as well as wetting agents, waxes and foam control products.

According to the company, the additional capacity will improve production flexibility, regional supply resilience and customer service in North America.

Münzing’s new facility was constructed on land previously used as a tree farm – a decision aligned with the company’s climate goals. Münzing has set a target to become carbon neutral by 2050. Sustainability measures at the site include heat recovery systems for process equipment, Sage Glass smart glazing for daylight and temperature control, infrastructure for electric vehicle charging and preparations for a rooftop solar array.

In line with its sustainability strategy, Münzing also continues to develop additive technologies based on biopolymers and water-based systems, including low- and zero-VOC formulations, to reduce environmental impact during application and use.
