French ingredients company Rhodia Food is to reorganise activities "in line with the requirements and trends of the food industry", the company said this week.
Rhodia Food is now structured around three business units: Dairy & Desserts, Beverages and Health. The units will cover the three market segments: cheese and milk, fresh dairy, desserts, beverages, probiotics and health.
"Marketing and innovation are at the heart of our new organisation as we have appointed a marketing innovation director to identify major customer needs and take advantage of all the group technologies to develop fast-to-market solutions in partnership with our customers," said Fabienne Saadane-Oaks, Rhodia Food president.
According to the company, the first two market segments will provide a range of texture, taste and extended shelf-life solutions from the Rhodia range of dairy cultures, coagulants, texturants, flavouring aids and protectants.
For the last market segment Rhodia Food will push its range of health ingredients to include FloraFit probiotic cultures and FiberFit soluble fibres.
"This new structure will increase our capability to contribute to the success of our customers in focusing on the development axis of taste and texture, health & nutrition and food safety," concluded Saadane-Oaks.
