January 26, 2021

CIAC congratulates the leadership and staff at Jungbunzlauer Canada on the announcement of the potential to invest and build a lactic acid production facility at their existing citric acid production site in Port Colborne, Ontario.   

This project would lead to an increase in production output and workforce at the site. The company notes that special emphasis will be laid on using modern technology that ensures a minimal level of greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption and product side streams. CIAC is especially proud that Jungbunzlauer’s global leadership have recognized the competencies of the Port Colborne team and their facility to supply the Canadian and US markets. More details can be found on the Jungbunzlauer site here. Ontario can benefit with more good chemistry.
