06 Aug 2019 --- Ingredient solutions provider Ingredion is increasing its investment in plant-based proteins to US$185 million by 2020, with a new manufacturing facility via its Verdient Foods venture on the way. The move builds on a previously stated investment amount of US$140 million and will expand both manufacturing and production capabilities. Expected to be fully functional by late 2020, the new facility will produce specialty pulse-based protein ingredients and is a response to the growing consumer demand for plant-based protein.
