The RIC will serve as a point of innovation in the Asia–Pacific region for the food ingredients and specialty chemicals company.

“The RIC allows us to support our customers in their projects by developing innovative solutions for all stages of the formulation process from concept to final product, across industry applications in Bakery, Beverage, Confectionery, Dairy and Savory,” Vikash Raj, Asia Pacific Innovation Director said.
