Hungrana to Process Yearly One Million Tons of Corn

Based on the start-up of the new production capacities, Hungrana now operates as Europe's largest producer for corn starch and isoglucose.

 
Total investments in the project amounted to approximately EUR 100
million. One million tonnes of corn will be processed annually in
this highly advanced facility, which is unrivalled in Europe. AGRANA
has concluded the expansion programme at its Hungarian facility
HUNGRANA Kft., Szabadegyháza, Hungary, a 50-50 joint venture
with Eaststarch C.V.
AGRANA’s Hungarian factory produces about
220,000 tonnes of isoglucose each year, comprising 27% of total
European isoglucose output. Moreover, up to 180,000 m³ of
bioethanol can be manufactured annually at the HUNGRANA plant.
