BENEO, the New Functional Food Group

LONDONSüdzucker AG created the BENEO functional foods group by merging the food ingredients companies Orafti, Palatinit and Remy; the divisions will be known individually as BENEO-Orafti, BENEO-Remy and BENEO-Palatinit. Corporate management decided to unite the companies in response to rapid changes across the worldwide foods market. Areas where this sharing of knowledge will be maximized include the three companies expertise in durable farming, process and food technology, nutritional science, nutritional marketing and communication, regulatory issues, patent policy and consumer research, said Yves Servotte, group board member, BENEO. The ability to draw knowledge from all three companies experiences in these areas will allow BENEO to bring new well-gredients to market and ensure that new and existing ingredients continue to meet ever-changing customer and market needs.
