Corbion N.V.

Corbion N.V. is a Dutch public limited company specializing in food ingredients and biochemicals, headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Originally founded in 1919 as Centrale Suiker Maatschappij (CSM), a sugar processing entity, it evolved through diversification into foods, bakery supplies, and fermentation-based products before rebranding to Corbion in 2013 to focus exclusively on bio-based ingredients and solutions. The company leverages over a century of expertise in lactic acid production and derivatives, offering sustainable solutions for food preservation, nutrition enhancement, antioxidants, and mold inhibition using natural fermentation processes. Corbion's portfolio also includes functional ingredient blends, algae-derived nutritional ingredients like omega-3s, and bioplastics such as polylactic acid (PLA) through ventures like Total Corbion PLA. Key acquisitions, including TerraVia in 2017 for microalgae innovations and Granotec do Brazil in 2019, have expanded its global reach in food, pharmaceutical, and biochemical sectors. Organized under a two-tier board system, Corbion emphasizes sustainability, innovation, and stakeholder interests in addressing demands for safe, longer-lasting products worldwide.
