Distribution Partner
IMCD is one of Tate & Lyle’s leading distribution partners in Europe, representing its portfolio in eight countries across the region.
The companies have collaborated in Sweden, Norway and Denmark since 2015, and Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxemburg and Morocco since 2021.
The partnership in Italy builds on the companies’ shared ambition to offer innovative solutions to customers, helping them to meet consumer demand for healthier food and beverages lower in sugar and calories and with cleaner labels and added fibre.
This strengthening of the partnership will allow Tate & Lyle customers to benefit from IMCD’s extensive market knowledge, highly trained technical and sales teams, technical centres of excellence and application laboratories.
Recently, Tate & Lyle announced the opening of its new Technical Application Centre in Dubai to address the growing demand for solutions that lower sugar, fat, and calories, and add fibre, in consumer products.
