Global ingredients group ofi has confirmed its presence at this year’s Food Ingredients Europe event (Fie) in Paris next month, showcasing applications across the sector, writes Neill Barston.
The business, which is under parent group Olam, has continued to deliver a range of solutions for the confectionery and snacks sectors, with its cocoa operations of considerable significance – though it will be its general food and drink portfolio that will be represented in France next month.
As the company noted, consumers now are seeking more than just distinctive flavours – they want food and beverage options that are natural, nutritious, sustainable, and unforgettable.
“At Fi Europe 2025, discover how our solutions can help you meet these evolving demands. We blend innovation with culinary creativity to co-create standout products and recipes that resonate in a fast-moving market,” explained the business of its appearance this year.
The company is participating at the key annual event, which this year is in Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, between 2-4 December, and can be found at Hall 4, booth C120, where it will be one of more than 1,550 exhibitors from 135 countries, with confectionery featuring notably in the overall mix of the sector showcase.
For its part, ofi has a strong association with the event, and has now built up more than 35 years experience in the industry. Its story began in 1989 with Olam. Since then, we’ve grown into a global force in naturally good food and beverage ingredients & solutions. As the company noted, it now goes far beyond sourcing, delivering integrated solutions that it has set out to help empower brands and consumers alike.
Significantly, the company’s roots are in core products including cocoa, coffee, nuts, spices, and dairy supply chains, partnering with customers from farm to formulation.
Whether it’s the rich depth of cocoa in our fillings, the satisfying roasting profile of premium nuts or the spicy sensations in culinary menu items, the company’s solutions have been devised to elevate the taste, texture, and performance of product ranges.
