Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) opens its own centre for flavour and ingredient creation, application, development and customer innovation in Singapore.

ADM opens its own centre at Singapore’s premier research hub, the Biopolis at one-north. As with several other food and beverage companies with their own R&D centres in this area, ADM will tap into local and international talent as it expands further into Southeast Asia.

The 825-square-meter facility is for flavour and ingredient creation, application, development and customer innovation centre, allowing ADM’s food scientists, flavourists and applications experts, to engage with customers in developing complete flaours and spercialty ingredient solutions mostly in nutrition, function and texture. The team is completed by sales, marketing and regulatory personnel.

The centre is fully equipped with a food and flavor analytic lab; beverage and dairy applications lab and pilot plant; a bakery and confectionery lab; a meat and savory lab; a sweet and savory creation lab; sensory evaluation facilities, aside from a customer innovation centre.

“Our goal is to be the first-call ingredient and flavor experts for customers working to meet those consumer needs throughout Southeast Asia,” said Donald Chen, ADM’s president, Asia. “Singapore is a critical hub of innovation and growth in the food and beverage world, and we are excited to leverage our technology, expertise and global scale to help Southeast Asian food and beverage customers remain at the forefront, and to offer job creation and talent development opportunities for scientific, technical, marketing and regulatory professionals in the food and beverage industries,” he said.

“We are heartened that ADM has chosen to locate their innovation centre for flavors and specialty ingredients in Singapore. The opening today demonstrates Singapore’s value as a hub for agri-commodity companies to co-innovate with their downstream customers. With Singapore’s focus on building consumer market insights, food and agriculture technologies, Singapore is well placed to serve innovative agri-commodity companies in building their capabilities in ingredient valorisation, and cater to Asian customers,” said Lee Eng Keat, Executive Director for International Organisations Programme Office, Logistics and Natural Resources, EDB.

“This new facility is yet another important step as we continue to enhance our portfolio and our capabilities around the globe,” said Vince Macciocchi, president of ADM’s WILD Flavors and Specialty Ingredients business. “Consumers are looking for new, innovative foods and beverages, and ADM continues to invest to ensure that we are the go-to solution providers for clean labels, sustainable ingredients and great taste.”

ADM has 100 employees in Singapore, over 1,000 employees throughout the wider Asia-Pacific region, where the company operates a wide range of processing facilities, including several animal feed facilities; a flavor and ingredient facility; a sweetener and soluble fiber complex in China; food and flavor labs in Japan, China, Singapore and Australia; and sales offices in every major market in the region. ADM also owns a 24.9% stake in Singapore-based Wilmar Limited, the region’s leading agribusiness and packaged food oils company.
