Global agribusiness giant Bunge has started construction of its new plant in the Port of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Scheduled to be completed by the end of 2025, the plant would replace the Maasvlakte refinery in Rotterdam and production at the current Bunge location in Wormerveer would also be moved to the new facility in phases, the company said on 8 December.
Bunge said the new facility on the HoogTij industrial area in the Port of Amsterdam was an important next step in expanding its European footprint while also improving operational flexibility and efficiency.
“The new factory is built according to the latest technological standards [and] will start production in 2026,” Bunge vice president EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) David Vandermeersch said.
“We aim for direct energy savings of 40% and a CO² reduction of 90% by 2030.”
