Caldic and food have a long common history. Almost from the start of the company, Caldic showed a high interest in food products and their corresponding markets.
This interest was also initiated by the acquisition policy of Caldic. Some of the old trading and distribution companies acquired had - traditionally and historically - a strong foot-hold in the trade of ingredients, additives, spices, herbs, hydrocolloids and related products.
Nowadays the sales of food products and ingredients within the Caldic organization run up to nearly 20% of the total corporate turnover, thus presenting the biggest single market, Caldic is active in.
These sales are mainly performed by separate specialist companies or by specialist food departments within the distribution organizations.
Together they deal with a vast and varied range of products (e.g. thickeners and stabilizers, spices, herbs, gelling agents, proteins, starches, seasonings, dehydrated vegetables, natural gums, food acids and acidulants, preservatives, food colours, milk powders, clarifiers, sweeteners, flavourings, leavening agents and baking powders). We kindly refer you to the product lists of the Caldic companies on this internetsite, for a detailed review.
In order to assure quality, health and safety, many of our sites have ISO, HACCP and GMP certifications and offer application laboratory services. |
