Cargill Allocates €56 Million for Food Production Expansion in Belgium

Cargill has made a €56 million investment across three Belgian facilities to increase production of edible oils and gourmet chocolate. This includes a €21 million expansion at the Izegem site, which has nearly doubled production capacity and introduced advanced automation, and a €30 million investment in Mouscron, adding 10,500 square meters of space.

Additionally, a €5.4 million extrusion pilot plant at the Vilvoorde Innovation Center will support product development. These projects enhance Cargill's manufacturing, research, and supply chain capabilities in response to rising customer demands and strengthen Belgium's strategic role within its European operations. The upgrades may provide Cargill with a competitive edge in meeting market needs efficiently.
