Lampados International completes Liteez facility expansion

Israel-based sweetener company Lampados International has completed the expansion of its plant for producing Liteez, a three-dimensional meringue kiss sweetener.

To ensure product safety and purity of its Liteez product, Lampados has made use of an automatic closed system production process, which adheres to the strict certifications.

The company explained that meringues are sensitive to contamination, especially during the foaming stage, and the incorporation of the new closed system has allowed the company to prevent contamination, as well as increasing production capacity by 22 times.

Lampados CEO Noam Kaplan said: “When we set out to create a new sweetener, while we certainly strived for exceptional characteristics and functionality, we wanted to do so with responsibility.

“Consumers, especially millennials, expect manufacturers to be a part of the community and take care of the environment. Part of Lampados’ mission is to make Liteez a better-for-you product in every aspect.”

The facility is said to have been designed in accordance with eco-friendly principles to reduce energy and water consumption.

Established in 1975, Lampados a family-owned company, which produces tabletop sweeteners and health products such as sugar-free syrups.

Kaplan added: “As a family business, Lampados constantly turns back to its roots and core values.

“We keep searching for innovation in flavour and functionality, but it also is important for us to conserve our precious resources. Water is one of the most valuable resources in Israel, so it is only responsible to reduce waste and at the same time produce our safe sweetener using only simple ingredients.”
