Caldic expands to Pacific regions

Caldic B V, distributor and producer of food ingredients and chemicals, continues its expansion and growth in the food ingredient market through the creation of Caldic New Zealand Ltd, based in Auckland.

This operation will focus on being an adding value link between supplier and customer, offering functional product solutions for the Pacific regions. The venture shows Caldic’s ambition to expand its global food ingredients business.

Caldic’s main activities are the distribution of chemicals and food ingredients. Currently the sales of food ingredients represent 45 percent of the total sales of the company, a number which has been steadily growing through acquisitions of Nealanders in North America and Sollaari Oy in Finland. With this establishment Caldic is reinforcing its vision and opens up a new market beyond its current core strengths in Europe, Asia and North America.

Caldic New Zealand will utilise its global partnerships to bring unique functional solutions and competitive commodity ingredients to food and feed manufactures. The focus is to combine this global reach with a tailored approach to the New Zealand market, offering a range of distribution services in a flexible customer centric business model. Key New Zealand market segments include dairy, beverage, bakery, processed convenience food, and animal feed.

This move allows Caldic’s principles access to a new customer base alongside a trusted partner in food ingredient distribution. According to Mr van Caldenborgh the Pacific regions were recognised by Caldic as “a key pillar for potential growth”.

The managing director of Caldic New Zealand, Mr S Crockett says – “We look forward to providing innovative solutions and services to customers within our target market segments, and new sales avenues for our principles. To achieve this we need to form strong partnerships with our suppliers, have a sound understanding of our customers and connect the two to create value for all stakeholders.”
