Batory Foods, a distributor of commodity and specialty food ingredients to the United States, has acquired the assets of Minneapolis-based Polypro International, a North American distributor of hydrocolloids. With the addition of the Polypro business, Batory is positioned to become the largest distributor of clean label texturants in the United States.
Polypro has been in business for 37 years and is a prominent supplier of Procol food-grade guar gum, which is used as a thickening, stabilizing, suspending, and binding agent. Batory will take over as the exclusive distributor of Procol in the United States and Canada.
“Polypro’s relationship with Batory spans more than 20 successful years. Batory is the natural choice to manage the Procol brand going forward and can offer our long-standing customers thousands of other ingredients to go along with Procol guar gum,” said Mark Kieper, owner and president of Polypro International
Kieper intends to focus Polypro’s commercial efforts on non-food-grade guar gum applications through Rantec Corp., a Polypro sister company. Batory will provide technical sales and service for all food-grade business and refer any non-food-grade inquiries to Rantec.
