ST. LOUIS — Bunge closed on its acquisition of the soy protein concentrate, lecithin and soy crush businesses from International Flavors & Fragrances, Inc., the company announced on March 2.
The transaction aligns with Bunge’s strategy to optimize its ingredients portfolio, aiming to offer a more diverse range of solutions to customers, the company said. The acquired businesses include IFF’s Response, Alpha, Procon, and Solec brands. The deal was first announced in August 2025.
These additions complement Bunge’s existing protein portfolio, creating a range of textured, functional and powdered soy protein concentrates to support the development of higher-protein products in bakery, snacks, meats, alternative meats and more, Bunge said. It also enhances the company’s lecithin offerings, which now include a more complete line of liquid, powdered, and fractionated lecithins from soy, sunflower and rapeseed to optimize the production and texture of confectionery, bakery and other products.
“We are excited to integrate IFF’s soy protein concentrate, lecithin, and crush business and welcome our new colleagues to Bunge,” said Brian Douville, vice president of emulsifiers and proteins at Bunge. “This transaction reinforces our commitment to be recognized by food and beverage customers as a partner of choice providing a diverse and reliable range of ingredient solutions to our global customers, supporting supply chain resilience.”
IFF is a global flavors, fragrances, food ingredients, health and biosciences solutions provider.
