Health trends
We are able to adapt our product range quickly to the
latest trends in the health debate. This is mainly because
we work with all types of vegetable oils and can reformulate
our products to meet customer needs. We focus
strongly on co-development with our customers. This
limits the risks involved in commercializing new products.
Regulatory measures also pose a risk. Active
involvement in sustainability-related issues is, therefore,
becoming increasingly important to forestall legislation
on issues that are a natural development of human
requirements.
