About MÜNZING North America

MÜNZING is a 192-year-old, global specialty additives supplier based in Abstatt, Germany. The company’s existing plant in Clover produces defoamers for printing inks, coatings and adhesives; wetting agents; waxes; and products formulated for foam control. The new Clover facility, positioned on 110 acres adjacent to current operations, produces similar products for a wide range of applications in the food industry. This line features both liquid and powder products in a range of materials and concentrations, including options suitable for organic, non-GMO and identity preserved processing.

MÜNZING’s Sustainability and Food Safety Measures

MÜNZING’s new facility in Clover is situated on a swath of land that was formerly a tree farm, offsetting the company’s carbon footprint. Their goal is to be carbon free by 2050. Other measures designed to limit the company’s greenhouse gas emissions include A M King’s implementation of heat recovery practices for the mechanical equipment in the process areas; installation of a Sage Glass glazing system that will adjust tint automatically to provide daylighting and thermal comfort for office occupants, preparation for a full rooftop solar array, and development of electric vehicle charging stations.

The facility is GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) certified. The company is dedicated to ensuring the safety of their products by paying close attention to regulatory, health, and safety standards in the production of its additives, according to Manufacturing Outlook. “The company is a strong advocate of environmental sustainability, and gives extra attention to reducing the environmental impact of adhesives by developing certified water- and biopolymer-based additives. MÜNZING also provides zero and low-VOC additives, to limit the amount of chemicals released into the air during application or use.”
