“We’re a technology-driven, food-ingredients company and the name ‘ingredients PLUS’ represents how our technology, expertise, and elite logistics resources deliver ingredients to customers when and where they need them,” said Kyle Whitford, senior vice president of Sales for ingredients PLUS. “Our new name mirrors our growth with the industry. And keeping our headquarters in Lakeville reflects our commitment to the Rochester area.”

According to Erin Johnson, vice president of Organizational Strategy and Development for ingredients PLUS, the company’s new name also “signals a purposeful pivot for our business; we’re committed to our long-time customers and services, but we’re diversifying and broadening what we bring to market.” 

As the diet and environmental concerns of consumers have changed, the traditional range of products offered by food and beverage makers has evolved, too. In response, ingredients PLUS has grown to supply ingredients including edible oils, organic sweeteners, non-GMO products, Fairtrade offerings, and environmentally friendly packaging.

 “With our expanding product lines, logistics arm, and facilities, we’ve grown into the name ingredients PLUS, which encompasses all we can do for our customers,” adds Whitford.
