New subsidiary established in Australia and New Zealand

Tate & Lyle has formed a new subsidiary to serve the Australian and New Zealand food and beverage industry - Tate & Lyle ANZ Pty Ltd.

Tate & Lyle ANZ forms part of Tate & Lyle's Global Food Ingredients Group. The Global Food Ingredients Group was established in 2005 to focus on global food ingredients marketing and maximising growth opportunities for Tate & Lyle's ingredient portfolio.

Tate & Lyle ANZ is based in Melbourne and will be headed by general manager Faye Bowyer, who joins the company from Nutrinova.

The subsidiary will market Tate & Lyle's value-added food ingredients (previously represented by Nutrinova) and Splenda Sucralose. Uniting these businesses will bring new opportunities in blending and ingredient solutions for the region's food and beverage producers.

The company will also distribute ingredients for Nutrinova (sweeteners and sorbates), Wild Flavors (flavours), Innova (savoury flavours) and SunOpta (fibres).
