Tate & Lyle is a provider of ingredients for the food and beverage industry operating through two global divisions: Food & Beverage Solutions and Primary Products.
Its Food & Beverage Solutions business is focused on building leadership positions in beverages, dairy, soups, sauces and dressings. It consists of texturants, including speciality starches; sweeteners, including low- and no-calorie alternatives; a health and wellness portfolio that mainly comprises speciality fibres; and stabilisers and functional systems, which are bespoke ingredient blends that ensure foods retain their structure throughout their shelf-life.
The company was created by the 1921 merger between Henry Tate & Sons and Abram Lyle & Sons, and, despite traditionally being associated with sugar, has changed with the times and now offers a number of low-calorie and zero-calorie sweetening systems.
