    Yeast Plants

    MdE started working in the yeast production process at the end of the 80’s by means of an association with the Dutch company Gist Brocades (Delft, The Netherlands), nowadays DSM.

    The agreement with GB finished in 1987 and since that moment MdE has carried out their projects in an independent way, developing an international activity in this field, with some turn-key projects .
