The plant is based on technically advanced and reliable equipment from renowned manufacturers.

To do this, we partner with local and regional farmers, who supply us annually with approximately 65,000 metric tons of substrates made from renewable raw materials and animal byproducts. Since 2025, we have also been producing food-grade liquid CO₂ at this site for the beverage industry.
