Ingredion Incorporated is a global ingredient solutions provider that transforms grains, fruits, vegetables and plant-based materials into value-added ingredients for food, beverage, animal nutrition, brewing and industrial markets. The company manufactures starches and sweeteners derived primarily from corn and starch-based materials like tapioca, potato and peas, which serve diverse applications ranging from food texturization and sweetening to industrial uses in paper, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and water treatment. Ingredion operates approximately 40 manufacturing facilities globally and generates revenue through firm-priced contracts that transfer raw material cost risk to the company, fee-based contracts that allocate input costs to customers, and spot market sales, with no single customer representing more than 10 percent of sales across over 60 industries served worldwide.
