21 Nov 2019 --- CP Kelco has bolstered its gellan gum investments throughout 2019 with two significant expansion projects in China and the US. Driven by evolving clean label and protein megatrends, global demand for gellan gum continues to grow. And as we head into 2020, the provider of nature-based ingredients anticipates an increased focus on naturally-derived, clean label ingredients, as well as the continuing growth of dairy alternatives and the plant-based market. CP Kelco President Didier Viala hails 2020 as “a year of education for customers and consumers, helping them to understand where our nature-based ingredients come from.” The company is also gearing up for a new ingredient launch early next month.
