Manufacturing and R&D facility

Tate & Lyle Food Systems has opened a $7 million manufacturing and research and development facility for the Asia-Pacific region in Wacol, Queensland.

The company works closely with manufacturers to develop food products which meet changing consumer needs. Its ingredients enable foods to maintain integrity throughout their shelf life, providing healthier products by reducing the fat content, reducing or replacing sugar, or enhancing the fibre content.

Tate & Lyle Food Systems supplies proprietary food stabiliser systems for the food industry in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Tate & Lyle Food Systems products are found in many leading brands in Australia including yogurts, desserts and prepared salads and readymade meals.

Tate & Lyle’s range of branded food ingredients includes Splenda Sucralose, Promitor Dietary Fiber, Sta-Lite Polydextrose, Tate & Lyle Fairtrade Sugar and Lyle’s Golden Syrup. Tate & Lyle also produces branded industrial ingredients including Bio-PDO, Ethylex and Sta-Lok paper starches; and staple ingredients such as high fructose corn syrup, sugar, ethanol, citric acid and basic starches.

In addition to providing a wide range of ingredients, product applications teams support users by providing technical advice and proprietary consumer insight studies.
