This agreement is not new for Blendtek as the company fulfills its mission of collaborating with industry partners to develop products fueled for success.
In July last year, Blendtek entered an agreement with Bunge, the world’s leader in oilseed processing and a leading producer and supplier of specialty plant-based oils and fats to supply plant alternatives in North America.
The agreement was not only converged to the distribution of Bunge’s protein alternatives, but Blendtek was also to provide product formulation expertise and blending capabilities to help customers quickly meet rising consumer demand.
