General information
- Short Summary
- A Swedish company developing a new food product for children is seeking an international supplier of organic chicory root fibre in liquid syrup form. The ingredient will be used by a contract manufacturer in food production. The company is seeking a long-term commercial agreement with a supplier able to provide organic liquid chicory root fibre syrup in suitable non-glass packaging.
- Full Description
-
A Swedish company active in the development of food products is preparing the production of a new product aimed at children. Production will be carried out by an external contract manufacturer.
The company is currently seeking a reliable international source of a specific food ingredient required for the planned production: organic chicory root fibre in liquid form. The requested ingredient may also be described as chicory root fibre syrup and is intended for use as part of the product formulation.
The liquid form is an essential requirement. Chicory root fibre is widely available as a powder, but this format is not suitable for the planned production process. The company specifically requires a syrup-like liquid ingredient that can be incorporated into food manufacturing. The ingredient is expected to have characteristics suitable for use in products where a lower-sugar syrup or honey-like alternative is required.
Organic quality is also a mandatory requirement. The company is therefore looking for suppliers with the capability to provide chicory root fibre syrup that meets applicable organic requirements.
The packaging format is also important for the production process. Glass packaging is not permitted at the contract manufacturing facility. The company therefore requires the ingredient to be supplied in plastic or another suitable non-glass food-grade packaging format. A preferred packaging volume is between 10 and 25 litres per container.
The initial order volume is expected to be approximately 50 litres. However, the required volume may increase significantly as production develops and the new product progresses towards larger-scale manufacturing.
An international partnership is sought to secure a suitable and stable supply channel for this ingredient and support the commercial production of the new product. The cooperation is expected to take the form of a commercial agreement with an ingredient producer, processor, wholesaler or specialised supplier capable of supplying the requested product on an ongoing basis. - Advantages and Innovations
-
- The requested ingredient will support the development of a new food product specifically intended for children.
- Liquid chicory root fibre syrup is required instead of the more commonly available powdered form, making it compatible with the intended production process.
- Organic quality is a mandatory requirement and creates a differentiated sourcing need.
- The requested 10–25 litre non-glass packaging format is designed to meet the handling requirements of the contract manufacturing facility.
- The cooperation may begin with a relatively small initial order and develop into substantially larger volumes as production expands. - Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
-
The partner should be able to supply chicory root fibre in liquid syrup form for use as a food ingredient.
The following requirements are essential:
- The product must be derived from chicory root fibre.
- The product must be supplied in liquid, syrup form; powdered chicory root fibre is not suitable.
- The ingredient must be available in organic quality.
- The product must be suitable for incorporation into food production carried out by a contract manufacturer.
- The ingredient must not be supplied in glass packaging, as glass is not permitted at the manufacturing facility.
- Plastic or another suitable non-glass, food-grade packaging format is required.
- The preferred packaging volume is between 10 and 25 litres per container.
- The initial requirement is approximately 50 litres, with the potential for significantly increased volumes in the future.
- The supplier should be able to provide sufficient product information and documentation required to assess suitability for food production and organic sourcing. - Stage of Development
- Already on the market
- Sustainable Development Goals
- Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
- Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being
Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
-
The partner should be a producer, processor, wholesaler or specialised supplier of organic food ingredients with access to organic liquid chicory root fibre syrup.
Under a commercial agreement, the partner would initially supply approximately 50 litres of the requested ingredient in non-glass, food-grade containers with a preferred volume of 10–25 litres per container. The partner should also have the capacity to discuss and potentially accommodate higher supply volumes as demand increases.
The cooperation is expected to focus on establishing a stable and potentially long-term supply relationship, including discussions on product specifications, organic documentation, packaging, availability, future order volumes, delivery conditions and other commercial terms. - Type and Size of Partner
