About Corbion N.V.

Corbion N.V. operates as a food ingredients and biobased chemical company worldwide. The company markets its products through a worldwide network of sales offices and distributors, and has a global supply chain. The company’s two lines of business include Biobased Ingredients and Biobased Innovations. Biobased Ingredients The Biobased Ingredients business unit focuses on the company’s core business: ingredients for food and biochemicals. In the Food segment, the company’s food ingredients portfolio keeps food safe and fresh, from creation to consumption, and as such, reduces food waste. It ranges from preservation ingredients to microbial spoilage prevention and ingredients that keep food fresh and tasty throughout shelf life. In the Biochemicals segment, the company’s biobased chemicals derived from renewable resources, such as sugar or starch, are a sustainable alternative to fossil-based chemicals in various applications, including cleaning detergents, hand soap, coatings, and animal feed. Biobased Innovations The Biobased Innovations business unit creates new biotechnology business platforms. Its PLA resin could be used to make a degradable bioplastic for a range of applications, ranging from food packaging to touchscreen computers and automotive components. Biobased Innovations also comprises the succinic acid joint venture with BASF (Succinity), as well as its longer-term development projects, such as FDCA, a potential replacement for purified terephthalic acid (PTA). The company’s PLA/lactide business and the succinic-acid joint venture with BASF (Succinity) are part of this unit. Its longer-term development projects, such as its gypsum-free fermentation technology, lactic acid based on second-generation biomass, and FDCA are also included in this business unit.
