PB Gelatins

The unit in Vilvoorde (B) produces acid gelatin from pigskins and pigbones, as well as speciality gelatins. In the bone degreasing installation, pig bones are stripped of all fat. They are then further processed in the 'acidulation' and 'liming' units to ossein.

The units in the British Treforest and the German Nienburg process the ossein from Vilvoorde into gelatin. In Nienburg, gelatin is also prepared from cattle hides and pigskins. The Nienburg unit produces alkaline and acid gelatin, cold soluble gelatins as well as a range of hydrolysates.

In April 2003, Tessenderlo Group acquired production units in the USA (Davenport) and Argentina (Santa Fe).
The unit in Davenport, PB Leiner USA, produces porcine gelatin and a full range of porcine hydrolysates. PB Leiner Argentina in Santa Fe specialises in alkaline and acid beef gelatin.

In 2006 PB Gelatins sets up a joint venture to be known as PB Gelatins (Pingyang) Co., Ltd near Wenzhou in southeastern China together with a Chinese partner, with a view to producing high-quality gelatin.
