Lampados International is completing a new plant expansion in Caesarea, Israel, to produce Liteez—a vegan, egg-free, 3D meringue kiss sweetener for hot drinks. The facility will produce 8,000 retail packages per day in the first stage, and will double production within a few months. The company invested more than $500,000 to increase production of the sweetener, which is available as either a stevia- or sucralose-based product. The plant is certified kosher and has received BRC (British Retail Consortium) Grade A certification.
“Production is now fully automated and modular to allow maximum flexibility for increasing capacity as well as creating additional customized sweeteners,” said Noam Kaplan, CEO of Lampados.
