US ingredients and chemicals firm, LBB Specialties (LBBS), has struck a deal to become an exclusive distribution partnership with Denmark’s Palsgaard, delivering its emulsifiers to North America, writes Neill Barston.

As Confectionery Production reported live last week from Gulfood Manufacturing, Palsgaard unveiled its latest powder-based cake gel replacer to strong acclaim during the Dubai World Trade Centre event.

The company’s innovation, which received notably encouraging feedback during its show launch, will now gain a wider roll-out as part of its overall portfolio, to be distributed by LBBS, which has built strong distribution capabilities and customer support in North America.

With more than a century dedicated to emulsifiers and stabilizers, Palsgaard has built its reputation on specialized ingredient innovation and a longstanding commitment to research and development.

Supported by dedicated laboratories, application centers, and pilot plants, its portfolio includes plant-based solutions designed to improve product consistency, processing efficiency, and formulation performance across applications such as bakery, confectionery, ice cream, dressings, and fats and oils.

“Palsgaard’s commitment to innovation and depth of technical knowledge make them a valuable addition to our Food & Nutrition portfolio,” said Toby Schmelz, Vice President, Food & Nutrition, LBB Specialties. “Their technologies give us more ways to help manufacturers improve product performance, simplify production, and explore new opportunities in product development. Just as importantly, their personal, collaborative approach aligns closely with how we work and the customer relationships we value.”

Carlos Fajardo, Business Development Manager, Palsgaard, welcomed the deal with the US distributor as a key means of expanding the company’s global market share.

He said: “LBB Specialties brings the industry knowledge, established customer relationships, and responsive service we value in a distributor.

“Their understanding of the food industry and commitment to supporting customers make them a strong choice to represent our technologies. We look forward to expanding access to our emulsifier solutions through their team.”
