The new facility includes an application laboratory designed for concept innovation, formulation support, stability testing, and customer training workshops, enabling closer collaboration and faster, locally tailored solutions for product development.
The decision follows a formal petition from GNT Group, the maker of EXBERRY® natural colors, which has driven previous incremental approvals for spirulina based blues and argued that broader authorization is needed to meet manufacturer demand for natural alternatives to synthetic dyes.
This collaboration expands access to the innovative plant-based EXBERRY® colourings across Southeast Asia’s booming food sector.
The company has been awarded the EcoVadis Platinum Medal, ranking among the top 1% of food manufacturing companies worldwide for sustainability performance.
The facility will serve manufacturers using GNT’s plant-based EXBERRY® colours in the Middle East, North Africa, and the Indian subcontinent.
