Cornelius Expands European Health and Nutrition Range

10 Feb 2016 --- Cornelius Group, an independent European distributor of innovative raw materials and ingredients for the food and drink industry, is expanding its health and nutrition selection throughout Europe.

Cornelius manufactures and distributes branded and own brand specialty chemicals, raw materials and ingredients across the health and nutrition, care products and industrial sectors. In recent years, the Cornelius health and nutrition business has grown steadily in Europe but an increase in customers and partners on the continent has resulted in a need to extend its solutions offering to meet demand.

Cornelius director of health and nutrition, Per Rehné, said: “We are taking large strides to further develop the range of leading manufacturers we work with and increase the availability of our expertise in food and beverage product innovation and manufacturing.

“We recently attended Food Ingredients Europe in Paris to increase awareness of Cornelius and its expansion within the European market. The team had encouraging discussions with customers about our newly launched products (namely CorFibre, Milne dried fruit and insoluble glitters from Watson), which were very well received.

Rehné explained further to NutritionInsight: “The focus is increasingly on consumer health and wellness through our diet, with demand for high quality proteins, fibres, fruits and extracts increasing in all markets. The trend is led by the UK market and proliferates throughout central Europe with growth in Poland and other East European countries. We have delivered growth in all our territories far exceeding market average, through high quality products, efficient supply chain and best in class customer care.”

“The European health & nutrition industry has become a key growth market for us and we are committed to expanding our presence in Europe as part of our continued growth. We expect to announce our next expansion in the very near future,” he concluded.
