Lipscomb Chemical - Focus Industries

FOOD INDUSTRY

The food industry is one of the largest buyers of ingredients in the worldwide market place. The scope of the food ingredients varies within each segment of the industry ranging from bulk commodities such as oil, sugar, flour, to functional specialties. Within the primary food segments there are common factors: the finished product must be delivered in a form that is attractive, provides a pleasant taste, texture and aroma, and is affordable to the selected customer base.

The West Coast food industry encompasses a wide variety of processing plants:

• Meat, Poultry, and Seafood
• Functional Foods
• Bars
• Nutritional Beverages
• Beverages
• Sauces & Dressings
• Canning
• Confections
• Dairy
• Food Service

The West Coast is typically very receptive to new and novel concepts within the food industry. Those concepts can be in delivery mechanisms, functionality of ingredients or the marketing concept of the finished product. The West Coast food industry continues to be a leader and pioneer in several healthy, functional food trends. The health food trend that started many years ago on the West Coast has continued to evolve into a large market segment of the mainstay food industry.

Lipscomb Chemical is proud to be a functional food ingredient supplier to many segments of the food industry.
