INDONESIA, OKTOBER 23, 2024
Clariant is ready to enhance the livestock industry in the Asia Pacific region with the establishment of a new feed additives production facility at its plant in Cileungsi. Starting October 2024, Toxisorb™ products, previously produced in Germany, will now be manufactured in Indonesia. Besides Toxisorb™, Clariant also produces the Terrana™ series using Indonesian native clay. This strategic decision aligns with Clariant's commitment to participate in realizing food security and providing better service to customers in the Asia Pacific Region.
The livestock industry faces significant challenges with mycotoxins, which can cause economic losses due to decreased productivity, including weight loss, reproductive issues, and even animal mortality. Clariant's Toxisorb™ and Terrana™ products are known to effectively bind both polar and non-polar mycotoxins, helping to improve animal health and increase farmers' income.
This initiative not only responds to challenges in the livestock sector but also aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) for Zero Hunger. By improving animal health and food safety, Clariant contributes to increasing the availability of affordable protein sources, such as eggs and chicken, especially in developing countries.
"We are very excited about the opening of Clariant's new feed additives production facility at our Cileungsi plant. This high-technology facility enables us to provide innovative and valuable solutions to the livestock industry and play a key role across the supply chain for the Asia Pacific market," said Pandu Wibowo, President Director of Clariant Indonesia.
Clariant products such as Toxisorb™ Classic and Toxisorb™ Premium, Terrana™ 312, Terrana™ 313, and Terrana™ 317 are available to our customers through distributors. We also provide clay raw materials as toxin binders, ammonia binders, vibrio binders, drying powder for piglets, and for addressing wet dropping, directly to our customers, feedmillers, or through distributors in Clariant's network in Asia Pacific.
