This new carbon neutral plant will be in line with the company’s ambitious target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its own operations by 80% by 2030 from a 2018 baseline.

Commencement of production of Santa Maria and Poco Loco tortillas in the new facility is expected in the spring of 2022.

Paulig CEO Rolf Ladau said: “Paulig aims to be one of Europe’s fastest growing companies in the food & beverage industry and a sustainable frontrunner. This new factory in Belgium will allow us to drive the further growth of the Tex Mex category and increase our innovation capabilities. We believe that business growth and sustainability can go hand in hand and therefore, our aim is to make the new plant carbon neutral from the start. We want to create a new, sustainable food culture that is good for both people and planet.”
