Ingredion Incorporated, a global provider of ingredient solutions to diversified industries, has announced the signing of a new strategic distribution agreement with Batory Foods. Effective September 10, 2021, the arrangement consolidates Ingredion’s distributor reach in the West and Central Midwest of the United States to help food and beverage manufacturers get the ingredients they need to produce and bring their products to market. This agreement includes the following 15 states: Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Batory Foods will become Ingredion’s authorized licensed distributor of Systems and Ingredient Solutions in these states, with an expanded view.
