Corn Products to become Ingredion
Corn Products International shareholders have voted to change the company’s name to Ingredion to ‘better showcase its role as a global ingredients solutions company serving the food, beverage and brewing industries and numerous other industries worldwide’.
Business units in the United States will move to register the name legally and begin doing business as Ingredion in early June. The rest of North America will follow later in 2012, with other countries and regions transitioning to the new name by the end of 2013.
“We are thrilled to face the marketplace with a name that says ‘ingredient solutions,’” says Ilene Gordon, the company’s chairman, president and CEO. “We’re proud of our legacy in providing consistently high-quality ingredients to our many customers and helping them succeed in new realms with innovations they can get nowhere else. We will continue to build our expertise and ingredient solutions portfolio to help our customers address trends and compete better around the world.”
