Croda’s acquisition

In July 2022, Cargill acquired Croda’s industrial business, a leading producer of high performance and bio-based specialty additives and a carveout of Croda’s larger operations.
Upon acquisition, Cargill welcomed a global business with production facilities throughout Europe and Asia, thousands of new products to add to its portfolio and nearly 1,000 employees in 21 countries. Croda’s industrial business has developed unique customer-driven solutions that will help Cargill better serve customers with an expanded product portfolio and manufacturing capabilities in fast-growth segments including bio-based plastics, automotive applications, bio-based lubricants, high-performance coatings and more. In addition, more than two-thirds of the raw materials used in the business are bio-based and renewable, aligning with Cargill’s commitment to sustainability.

Since the concept of sustainability was first introduced in the coatings industry decades ago, the focus has expanded well beyond reducing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to include energy and resource conservation, waste minimization, process efficiency enhancement, use of renewable materials, and more. As a leading global biochemical company, Corbion delivers innovative solutions that enable manufacturers in diverse industrial segments to create high-performance products with better sustainability profiles. This presentation examines the role Corbion’s advanced fermentation-based technologies can play in formulating coatings with high levels of renewable content.

Three specific product groups in the Corbion portfolio will be highlighted for their value and relevance in developing biobased coatings, each leveraging the benefits of lactic acid chemistry:

• Lactate esters: Biobased solvents providing an effective alternative to fossil-based materials
• Lactides: Versatile, biobased monomers/building blocks for synthesizing polyurethanes, alkyds and acrylate resins
• Novel lactic acid-based preservatives for water-based systems (pH<8)

At the event we strive not only to bring you to the same location at the same time as your customers/suppliers/peers, we strive to ensure you meet face-to-face with each and every one of your target contacts and to provide you with the time you need to have multiple unhurried conversations with them and build a lasting business relationship:

•  A pre-event informal introduction the evening before the conference
•  A minimum of five hours’ networking built into the two day conference agenda
•  A networking grid which enables you to make your target contacts aware you are looking for them
•  The option to join either social drinks or dinner during the evening of Day One
•  ACI’s on-site team will assist you in locating your hard-to-find target contacts & make face-to-face introductions
