    Engineering and construction work is set to start immediately, with a completion date slated for mid-2019.

    ‘Our continued growth is a testament to our ability to meet the performance requirements of demanding applications with our plant-based ingredients,’ explained Todd Sutton, president, DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products.

    ‘The benefits of creating high-performing solutions in combination with renewability provides opportunities for us to continue to expand our market reach in the cosmetics, personal care, flavours, fibres and polyurethanes markets as well as many other applications.’
