Brazil-based Gelnex has announced that it will build two new facilities, one in the US and one in Paraguay, says WholeFoods Magazine.
One of the new locations is in Paraguay. This facility will streamline the supply chain as it positions the manufacturing process adjacent to the raw material sources. These raw will be sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised South American cattle hides.
The other new build is in Portage, Indiana. The is Gelnex’s first US facility and it will serve the purpose of hydrolysing gelatine into collagen.
After the completion of these two investments, Gelnex will have seven factories capable of producing over 100 million lbs/year.
The cost of the new facilites has not been disclosed.
Gelnex said it’s motivated to continue expanding its global presence, building a transparent and reliable relationship with its customers.
