Dear Customer,
We are pleased to announce that Solae has acquired the Prolisse™
isolated soy protein product line from Cargill.
The combination of Solae’s ISP business and Cargill’s
Prolisse? product line is a perfect fit. At Solae, we are committed
to the soy ingredient industry and this investment will enable us
to continue serving customers with quality, reliability, and product
innovation.
As a leader in soy protein, Solae is well suited to integrate Prolisse™
into our current product portfolio. Adding Cargill’s membrane-based
technology and patents to Solae’s existing portfolio enables
Solae to offer all of our customers a wider range of products and
innovation.
This sophisticated membrane technology for producing isolated soy
protein delivers unique benefits in terms of flavor and functional
performance in various food applications. Cargill has done outstanding
work in demonstrating the benefits of this technology in a number
of retail and food and beverage products. As a result, the demand
for Prolisse? has increased to a point where additional production
capacity is needed and Cargill has chosen not to take this exciting
product to the next level. We are very excited and honored to continue
to develop and grow membrane-based products.
A great deal of work has been done to ensure a smooth transition
for all Prolisse™ customers. This transaction does not affect
other Cargill businesses or projects; this is strictly related to
Prolisse™ isolated soy protein. Both companies will make sure
that you will continue to be serviced with the current level of
commitment without any disruptions.
We are excited to be a global partner in delivering innovation
that improves our customers’ products. With this purchase,
we gain new technology that will enhance our ability to take new
products to market and will allow us to offer more solutions for
our customers. We are pleased that this innovative technology will
continue to be available to you. If you have any questions, please
feel free to contact customer service at 1-800-325-7108.
Sincerely,
Tony Arnold
President and CEO
The Solae Company
