This addition is complementing and strengthening Mane’s expertise in the domain to become a European leader in the sector. The sale of the compounds business is consistent with Cargill’s texturizing solutions business strategy of sharpening the focus on its core business, and as such, bring more value to its customers.

The new entity will operate under the umbrella of Mane Iberica. Terms of the agreement are not disclosed. Closure of the transaction is expected to happen in the next few weeks.
