Food ingredients companies Orafti, Palatinit and Remy have formed the newly created Functional Food Group BENEO, and are known individually as BENEO-Orafti, BENEO-Remy and BENEO-Palatinit.
‘Connecting nutrition and health’ is the group’s united mission and with the combination of three major players into one group it will ensure BENEO becomes one of the industry’s preferred innovative partners.
The decision to unite the strengths of Orafti, Palatinit and Remy has come in response to the rapid changes that have been experienced across the worldwide foods market.
Palatinit develops manufactures and markets ISOMALT, the No 1 sugar replacer in hard candies worldwide and the only one made from real sugar.
It recently introduced Palatinose, the only low glycaemic carbohydrate that provides prolonged energy in the form of glucose to the body.
Orafti is the world leader in the production of chicory ingredients.
Its products include active food ingredients such as inulin and oligofructose.
Remy is a world market leader in the production of rice derivatives like starches, flours, proteins and recently also stabilised rice bran.
The company’s product portfolio also includes Nutriz, a rice concentrate that is used in non-dairy drinks and desserts.
With a business vision for the next ten years already in place, the combination of Orafti, Palatinit and Remy under the group name BENEO, is a major step in providing partners and end users alike with new food ingredients.
