17 Sep 2015 --- Cargill is looking to “label friendly” ingredients as a key platform for growth, with pectin identified as part of this strategy. This week, Cargill completed the acquisition of FMC’s pectin operations in Milazzo, Sicily (Italy). The acquisition includes a pectin production line, dry peel storage silos, a quality control laboratory, commercial portfolio and a dedicated, experienced workforce. Colleen May, president of Cargill’s texturizing solutions business, believes that this acquisition will move the company into second place in the global pectin market [after CP Kelco]; up from number 3 or 4.
