The multi-million dollar expansion will include the addition of new equipment and material storage space to the processing facility.
The ground-breaking of the Aveka Nutra Processing (ANP) plant extension was held in November 2019 and its completion is expected in July 2020. The company decided to expand the facility as its existing spray drying capacity is nearly running at maximum capacity.
The facility is involved in the processing of food, beverage, and nutraceutical products. The expansion will add 1,500lb of hourly capacity and increase the drying capacity of the processing plant by 25%. The food-grade liquid processing capabilities of the facility will also be enhanced, upon completion of the expansion.

The processing facility is located at Allamakee Street in Waukon. The expansion will include the construction of a 750ft² single-storey liquid processing area. The facility already includes equipment designed to meet custom food and multi-step manufacturing requirements.
