FMC Corp. Opens New Singapore Technical Center

PHILADELPHIAFMC Corp. announced the opening of its new Singapore Technical Center, which features a state-of-the-art food laboratory that will serve the technology and formulation needs of FMC's growing food and beverage customers throughout Southeast Asia.

"Our biopolymer food ingredient technologies are among the most sophisticated and widely used in the industry, but what truly sets us apart is FMC's technical collaboration and formulation capabilities that we offer to all of our customers," said Mary T. Clarke, general manager, Food Ingredients, FMC BioPolymer. "Our new Singapore Technical Center brings our premier service model to Southeast Asia customers who want to develop their products faster and more efficiently."

FMC BioPolymer is a leading provider of food and pharmaceutical functional ingredients, and its natural carrageenan extracts and alginates are used by global customers to thicken, stabilize and improve the texture of dairy, meats, bakery and convenience foods. In 2011, the company added natural colors and nutritionals to its product range through the acquisition of Southpole BioGroup.
