Philadelphia
Degussa Corp. recently broke ground on the 18,000-sf future headquarters of the company's fruit systems unit in Philadelphia. The division, which designs new products based on the interaction of fruit, flavors, and other ingredients, began relocation to its new home in summer of 2002 from Langhorne, Bucks County. Degussa currently operates a 150,000-sf production plant at the same location and aims to increase collaboration between its manufacturing, R&D and technology departments with the relocation. Degussa, based in Parsippany, N.J., is a subsidiary of Düsseldorf, Germany-based Degussa AG.
