TATE & LYLE acquired by INGREDION

Tate & Lyle is a specialized entity that manufactures ingredients for the food industry, having evolved over time to incorporate a diversified range of products including sweeteners, texturants, fibers, and stabilizers, in addition to its initial sugar refining activity. Following the divestment of its sugar refining business to American Sugar Refining in 2010, the entity continued its diversification strategy by acquiring CP Kelco in 2024, a specialist in specialty gums and pectins, to strengthen its position in the market for texture-enhancing food products. With a workforce of approximately 5,000 employees across 40 countries, the organization generated revenue exceeding 2 billion pounds, occupying a significant position in the food ingredient market alongside other players such as Ingredion, Kerry Group, and Cargill. The production of specialized ingredients, including sweeteners and texturants, represents a substantial portion of its activity, with a range of products designed to meet consumer expectations regarding health and wellness, as well as significant involvement in research and development of new technologies and products to maintain its position in a constantly evolving market. This involvement in research and development enables the organization to offer innovative solutions to food industry companies and consumers, with a global presence through operations in numerous countries, allowing it to serve global markets and meet client needs on an international scale, with an approach focused on satisfying the specific needs of each market, and entering new geographic regions to expand its customer base.
