The German Crespel & Deiters Group, one of the leading wheat processors in Europe, has entered the U.S. market with a newly founded subsidiary: Crespel & Deiters Food USA LP. The offer comprises a range of in-house produced non-GMO functional wheat-based ingredients as well as application-oriented manufacturing expertise from Loryma, the group's food specialist. The company says this is to help manufacturers respond to the increasing demand for sustainable plant-based products such as authentic meat alternatives.
With the founding of the American subsidiary in Chicago, the Crespel & Deiters Group is making its functional wheat-based ingredients available to industrial customers in North America. Two sales staff have been recruited to look after existing customers as well as new ones. To keep the delivery times short, local storage capacities have been installed.
