Danone Inaugurates New Plant-Based Beverage Production Facility In France
Danone has announced the inauguration of a new plant-based production facility, in Villecomtal-sur-Arros in southwestern France.
The inauguration took place at an event attended by French officials and Danone employees, along with CEO Antoine de Saint-Affrique.
The French food group said the site’s conversion to plant-based makes it a new reference point in Europe for the production of oat-based drinks for the Alpro brand.
The Villecomtal-sur-Arros facility serves markets across Europe.
The transformation of the facility took nearly two years and called for a capital investment of €7 million.
The site is now home to Danone France’s only oat-flour-to-oat-juice production facility.
The plant features two production lines, one operating at high speed. Beverage output is set to reach over 300,000 litres a day for distribution in France and 26 other European markets.
Ninety percent of total production is designated for export, which Danone said makes the site a European showcase for French plant-based products.
