Bunge has officially opened its new soy protein concentrate facility in Morristown, Indiana, marking an important milestone for our company and for the future of food.
Leaders from across the state and community joined the Bunge team to celebrate the opening of this state of the art, U.S.-based facility, which is dedicated exclusively to food production. For Bunge, Morristown represents a long-term investment in our customers, our farmer partners, and the communities where we operate. It is the first soy protein concentrate facility built in the U.S. in more than 40 years and largest in the country.
“At the heart of Morristown, one thing remains constant: our customers,” said Brian Douville, Vice President, Emulsifiers & Proteins. “This facility exists because we listened to what customers told us they needed and built something different to serve them better.”
Food manufacturers told the Bunge team their biggest challenges with plant protein ingredients were earthy or beany flavors, dull color, and inconsistent service—all of which limit how proteins can be used in everyday foods.
Using advanced processing technology, the facility produces clean tasting, very light-colored soy protein concentrates that deliver functionality without compromising flavor or appearance. These products perform across a wide range of everyday applications, including meat and plant-based meat, cereals, premixes, bakery products and snacks.
Morristown also plays a key role in Bunge’s mission to connect farmers to consumers. The facility creates new, value-added markets for Indiana-grown soybeans, processing them ingredients used in foods people eat every day.
Just as importantly, the facility is built for scale. Its size and reliability allow Bunge to support customers of any size—from emerging brands to global food companies—helping them grow with confidence as demand for protein continues to rise.
As expectations for protein ingredients continue to increase, Morristown positions Bunge for the future. Through our integrated supply chain, we can also work directly with farmers to support regenerative agriculture practices, improving soil health and helping reduce the carbon footprint of the soybeans used in our products.
“Morristown is a promise to our customers, our farmer partners, and our communities to deliver great-tasting and great-looking foods, real value, and truly exceptional service,” said Douville.
The successful completion of this project was made possible by teams across Bunge, especially Industrial Operations, who delivered the complex build with an unwavering commitment to safety and excellence.
The Morristown facility stands as a powerful example of how Bunge brings its mission to life—connecting agriculture to food, innovation to scale, and people to opportunity.
