The Ordesa and IRTA Laboratories inaugurate an innovative pilot plant in Monells (Girona

Ordesa, a Catalan multinational with R+D laboratories at the Barcelona Science Park, and the Institute of Food and Agricultural Research and Technologies (IRTA) have signed a strategic research agreement to launch an innovative pilot plant that will make it possible to perform scale processes for the development of new lactic products.This state of the art plant, located in Monells (Girona), was inaugurated last Friday February 25 in the presence of the Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, Food and the Environment, Josep M. Pelegrí; the State Secretary of Research of the Ministry of Science and Innovation, Felipe Pétriz; the president of the Ordesa Group, Josep M. Ventura and the general director of IRTA, Josep M. Monfort, amongst others.

The core value of this agreement, which exemplifies collaboration between private enterprise and public administration, is the know-how that both organizations have contributed and their capacity to launch new products with a greater added value.The opening of these new facilities has entailed an investment of 2.3 million Euros.
