Ornua expansion: Stauber and CoreFX enter dairy partnership

15 Mar 2018 --- Stauber USA a premier distributor of quality ingredients and solutions to the nutritional, food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and pet care industries has entered into a strategic partnership with CoreFX Ingredients, manufacturers of custom dry dairy, cheese and lipid ingredient solutions. The partnership will strive to deliver innovative, service driven ingredient solutions to elevate customers success.

With close to 50 years of industry experience, Stauber USA was founded on the principle of partnering with manufacturers that provide the highest level of products and service.

Speaking about the partnership with CoreFX Ingredients, Shirley Rozeboom, Senior VP of Stauber said that “We are excited about our new partnership with CoreFX Ingredients. This is opening up new opportunities for spray dried emulsions with functionality. CoreFX has a unique process that encapsulates the oil and promotes stability, while creating a free-flowing powder that’s easy to use in all finished product applications. Their dedicated team is driven by innovation and service and quick to respond to our customer’s demands.”

Specializing in custom dry dairy and specialty lipid ingredients where convenience is a premium, CoreFX Ingredients combine unique spray drying techniques with optimized emulsifying agents to create dry stable ingredients that deliver the nutritional value of healthy fats. These highly functional systems are capable of achieving desired flavor, body, texture and appearance in many end-use nutritional products.

Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, CoreFX Ingredients is a US-based division of Ornua Ingredients and specializes in the manufacture of custom dry dairy, cheese and lipid ingredient solutions. CoreFX serves industrial food manufacturers and foodservice markets in the US and across the globe. CoreFX is certified organic, BRC compliant and offers GMO-free and vegan solutions.

“This partnership with Stauber/Hawkins is an exciting milestone for CoreFX as we progress our high value dry stable nutritional and nutraceutical oils portfolio and our grass-fed dairy portfolio into markets where Stauber excels and has serviced for many years,” said Denis Neville, CEO of CoreFX Ingredients. “This venture will prove to be an aligned and inspiring partnership where customers and service come first and we are looking forward to exciting times ahead.”

The mutually beneficial collaboration between Stauber USA and CoreFX Ingredients is a good example of how two strong partners join forces, giving way to great synergy between companies and providing mutual growth opportunities within the markets they serve. By working together, CoreFX Ingredients builds on Stauber’s strengths to bring innovative solutions to the nutrition industry.
