On Friday 18 October, the Embassy of Denmark in China joined THORNICO and Ovodan Egg Group in celebrating the official opening of Ovodan’s fourth factory in the town of Ziyang, Sichuan Province.
Ambassador Michael Starbæk Christensen attended the ceremony together with Ovodan’s CEO Christian Stadil, Founder Thor Stadil, and Minister Counsellor for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Katja Goodhew, alongside local Chinese officials.
The new factory marks a significant milestone for Ovodan and highlights the strong cooperation between Denmark and China in the food and agriculture sectors.
As part of the event, Ovodan hosted a Danish bakery seminar, opened by Henrik Marinus Pedersen, Global President of Ovodan. The seminar gathered around 50 guests, including representatives from major bakery chains, R&D and procurement directors, boutique bakery owners, and Ovodan’s key partners.
