Palsgaard expands Emulpals® cake emulsifier production to Brazil
These lean-label emulsifiers also allow manufacturers to replace saturated or trans-fats with healthier unsaturated liquid oils.
BRAZIL – Palsgaard, a global leader in plant-based emulsifiers and stabilizers, has expanded production of its Emulpals® powdered cake emulsifiers to Brazil.
This step marks a significant step in meeting the rising regional and global demand for high-performance whipping agents.
Emulpals®, a trusted name in bakery premixes for more than four decades, is known for delivering exceptional aeration, softness, and stability in cake formulations.
These lean-label emulsifiers also allow manufacturers to replace saturated or trans-fats with healthier unsaturated liquid oils, an increasingly important shift as consumers seek cleaner, more nutritious bakery products.
Until now, Emulpals® has been produced exclusively in Denmark. With production now underway at Palsgaard Brazil, the company aims to strengthen its global supply chain while tailoring solutions to local market needs.
The new facility adheres to the same quality and functionality standards as its European counterpart, while also offering customized options for Brazilian and Latin American manufacturers.
According to Miguel Hidalgo, CEO of Palsgaard Brazil, this move brings both supply security and economic advantages.
“Our Emulpals® emulsifiers have proven hugely popular with cake mix manufacturers across the world over the last four decades. We are delighted to announce that we have begun manufacturing these high-performing whipping agents in Brazil and are already distributing them to customers across the Americas,” he said.
Beyond production, Palsgaard Brazil has built a strong local application team to help manufacturers optimize recipes, textures, and aeration levels for different cake types.
“We are ideally placed to help manufacturers satisfy different consumer preferences across the region,” Hidalgo added. “Our talented technicians and global innovation teams, from Denmark to Mexico and Singapore, ensure we stay aligned with global trends while adapting ideas to local requirements.”
Founded in 1917 and credited with inventing the plant-based emulsifier, Palsgaard has grown into a trusted global partner across food, polymer, and personal care sectors.
The company’s commitment to sustainability is embedded in its operations, with efforts to reduce food waste, optimize energy use, and promote ESG transparency.
Today, Palsgaard employs over 800 people in 20 countries, operating six factories and nine application centers across four continents.
In 2024, the company reported a turnover of €314 million (US$364 million), underscoring its continued growth and leadership in sustainable food innovation.
