Tate & Lyle transforms Singapore application center into Asia-Pacific hub

Tate & Lyle has upgraded and doubled the size of its application center to meet growing industry demand for ingredients and solutions that lower sugar, fat and calories, and enrich consumer products.

The laboratory has state-of-the-art technology including pilot-scale capabilities in beverage, dairy, bakery, sauce and dressing processing that enable Tate & Lyle food scientists to work in collaboration with food and beverage partners to develop great tasting products that meet consumers’ needs.

Enhanced analytical capabilities at the application center bring together the multi-disciplinary approach needed to drive successful food formulation from the ingredients and recipe to the application, to the sensory experience. Tate & Lyle’s application and technical service teams also provide the technical capability, recipe knowledge and optimization expertise needed for manufacturers to overcome processing and scale-up challenges.

Harry Boot, General Manager and Senior Vice President, Tate & Lyle Asia Pacific, says: “Manufacturers are increasingly looking to agile and expert partners like Tate & Lyle to help them meet growing consumer demand for great tasting food and beverages that support balanced diets and lifestyles.

“Our Singapore application center brings together Tate & Lyle’s cutting-edge science, market leading ingredients and product development capabilities, offering a formulation “one-stop-shop” for manufacturers across the region.”

 
Tate & Lyle’s Singapore application center is also the company’s Asia-Pacific Headquarters and is supported by a network of applications laboratories, sales and technical service resources in Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, New Zealand, Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.

 

Boot told FoodIngredientsFirst: “Singapore is known as a center of science, research and innovation. With its proximity to key markets and access to a skilled workforce, we believe that our upgraded lab will further enhance our position as a high value and expert ingredients provider and business partner in the Asia-Pacific region. Demand for our ingredients and application expertise is high and growing in Singapore and across APAC, and by increasing our presence, capabilities and team, we are now even better placed to serve customers.”
