 In
2001, APAC
formed a joint venture manufacturing company with a basic
sorbic acid producer in China. The newly formed company is named APAC Yong Chang Chemical Company, Ltd.
Capital investment by APAC
resulted
in several improvements to the existing plant, including an expansion that
increased the sorbic acid production capacity to 6,000 MT. The expansion
also added a new 4,000 MT potassium sorbate production facility.
APAC's
entry into the sorbates manufacturing has allowed introduction
of U.S. manufacturing technology, packaging & quality control thus raising
Chinese produced sorbates to "World Class" standards. In addition to
recently acquiring our Plant ISO 9002 Certification, our sorbates are
Circle K (Kosher/Passover) approved and conform to FCC and European
standards.
