Corbion
Pieter Paul Lamers, sales director at Corbion, said the company had a long history of making ingredients that increase the shelf-life and stability of products, and has had particular success in the US. It has also had good successes in Europe and was now developing within this part of the world. Corbion has created a portfolio of powders, more suitable for this region, which it was showcasing at Gulfood, such as its Opti.Form Powder Ace S50. The firm has also been working on sodium reduction solutions.
Lamers said the firm had been exporting to the Middle East for a number of years, and that, in order to be successful "it is very important to have a strong local partner here, that knows the particulars of the different regions", he said. "The meat industry is growing significantly over here and is modernising," he added.
