German ingredients company Döhler has announced plans to acquire SVZ, a Dutch supplier of fruit and vegetable ingredients, from Royal Cosun. The move is expected to buildout Döhler’s portfolio, notably in red fruit and vegetable ingredients.
The German ingredients supplier is investing in UK-based Clean Food Group (CFG) – a start-up developing a bio-equivalent cultivated alternative to palm oil – via its investment arm, Doehler Ventures.
Consumers are increasingly looking for ‘healthy added value’ in their food and beverages – a trend also seen in confectionery for products that combine health and indulgence.
Natural ingredients systems provider Doehler is set to showcase a range of 'multi-sensory experiences' and innovative products at ProSweets 2020 in Cologne, from 2 February.
