This manufacturing facility will enable the company to produce around 3,000MT of next generation stevia sweeteners annually.
SweeGen successfully commercialized its non-GMO Reb M and Reb D in 2016 and 2017 respectively and just announced the approval of its latest developed steviol glycoside, Reb E, a major component in the company's Bestevia e+ product.
