International ingredients firm, Döhler has unveiled a new Canadian division in a Toronto, Ontario, bolstering its North American presence.

As the company explained, the move was part of wider policies aimed at fostering long-term relationships with its customers across the region, within food, beverage, and life science & nutrition markets.

Moreover, as the business noted, a dedicated presence in Canada enables it to be able to collaborate more closely with customers, respond more rapidly to local requirements and support projects with a stronger understanding of the Canadian market.

The new organisation will provide customers with a direct connection to Döhler’s regional experts and global network of innovation, application and production capabilities.

Furthermore, Canadian customers will have access to Döhler’s comprehensive portfolio of natural ingredients, ingredient systems and integrated solutions. This includes solutions for taste, colour, health and nutrition, fruit and vegetable ingredients, plant-based products, as well as tailored ingredient systems for food and beverage applications.

Beyond its ingredient portfolio, the company confirmed that it has continued to back customers throughout the product development process – from market and consumer insights, concept development and formulation to sensory evaluation, application support, scale-up and supply-chain services. This integrated approach helps customers accelerate innovation, simplify complexity and bring successful products to market more efficiently.

“Establishing Döhler Canada reflects our strategy of combining strong regional capabilities with the expertise and resources of our global network,” said Paul Graham, President of the Americas. “Our customers need partners who understand their markets, respond quickly and help them translate changing consumer expectations into successful products. With a dedicated Canadian organisation, we can work even more closely with customers and support them from the first idea through to commercial implementation,” adding that the move would help further cement relations with its customers across the broader region, as the business continues to expand its operations.
