The new flakes factory owned by Lutosa in Leuze-en-Hainaut received its official opening on Thursday, November 3, 2022. This brand-new, completely integrated factory is the result of a EUR45m investment by McCain in this important market.

“This move meets the growing global demand for dehydrated products, a field in which the group has specialized for more than 30 years. Furthermore, it will significantly improve working conditions for the company’s employees and increase its product range”, according to a recent press release.

The improvement of the environmental impact receives 10% of the overall investment. With this new unit, there will be a 15% increase in energy efficiency, a 40% decrease in water use, and a decrease in truck traffic. This is a component of Lutosa’s “Pledge to the World” CSR approach.
