Omya has rebuilt and expanded its calcium carbonate production plant in Orgon, France, creating a substantially higher capacity for its functionalized calcium carbonate product platform, a new packaging line and an on-site warehouse. The modern facility produces the company’s mineral grades for food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and cosmetic applications in accordance with the most stringent sustainability and quality standards.

While North America and Europe are currently the major markets for wellness foods and beverages, the trend is global, with Asia-Pacific likely to become the fastest growing market.

The company will showcase Omyanutra™, a highly functional, porous carrier for active ingredients in dietary supplements; and the innovative flow aid Omyafood™ for powdered products. In addition to its mineral ingredients, Omya will highlight a range of specialties from its US distribution portfolio.
