Alland & Robert and Sayaji to Jointly Collaborate on Acacia Gum Production in India
The main goal of this collaboration is to manufacture locally and supply spray dried acacia gum for the growing Indian market. Alland & Robert, a company that has been an expert in this field since 1884, will provide technological know-how for the processing of the acacia gum in order to offer the best quality product for this fast-evolving market.
Acacia gum, also known as gum Arabic or E414, is a natural, safe and healthy ingredient used in flavors, beverages, confectionery, dairy, bakery, dietary products, pharma and cosmetics among others. Acacia gum is today found in thousands of day-to-day products all over the world. In India , acacia gum is also purchased directly by consumers at their local markets to cook traditional meals. The local business opportunities are large and diverse in this fast-growing economy.
Anne-Sophie Alland , head of strategy and development at Alland & Robert, says: " ."
Sayaji Industries Limited already has a strong foothold and a steady reputation in the Indian food industry with its large corn wet milling business, and is therefore a natural choice of partner for Alland & Robert. The two companies have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding and they will sign a definitive agreement beginning of 2019.
Created in 1884, Alland & Robert is a family company and an international leader on the natural tree exudates market with a strong focus on acacia gum, an entirely natural additive or ingredient.
