Ingredion’s location in Ho Chi Minh City positions the company to meet the dynamic needs of the Vietnamese market by better delivering value-added services, technical advice and sales support to Food and Beverage (F&B) manufacturers. Customers will also enjoy a strong synergy with recent regional expansion plans that further augment Ingredion’s resources in the Asia-Pacific region.

“There is much potential in Vietnam,” says Rishan Pillay, vice president and general manager, ASEAN and India at Ingredion, who cites that the growth speed of Vietnam’s F&B industry could see an annual double-digit growth of 10.9% in 2017 to 2019, with consumption demand largely focused on food and necessities.

“We are keen to contribute towards Vietnam’s new chapter and look forward to building strong partnerships with F&B manufacturers to create on-trend, consumer-winning products,” he concludes.
