Our business model
What we do
We use our smart science to create high performance ingredients and technologies that improve people’s lives. We are a B2B company that, through direct local relationships, sells small quantities of high-value ingredients to customers of all sizes. These ingredients deliver vital functionality and downstream benefits at low inclusion levels.
We operate globally with a focus on high-value niches in consumer care and life science markets, working closely with customers at every stage of the value chain. We aim to enhance our reputation for innovation, sustainability and quality in everything that we do.
Value creation from discovery to supply
What our business needs
Operating globally, we adhere to relevant regulations governing our product ingredients and applications, with regulatory change often driving requirements for our innovation.
Why are we different?
Our growth strategy is focused on pioneering new market and technology niches where our leadership in innovation and sustainability differentiate us. We operate flexible, capital-light manufacturing sites, rather than large continuous operation plans, producing ingredients in test tube quantities rather than tanker loads. Our principal focus is on driving the continued differentiation of our portfolio through innovation and sustainability. We have a broad base of customers, large and small, and a high number of customer/ product combinations which reduces our exposure to any specific customer, market or geography.
