Ingredion Incorporated (NYSE: INGR) is a global ingredient solutions company that manufactures and sells sweeteners, starches, nutrition ingredients, and biomaterial solutions derived from wet milling and processing of corn and other starch-based materials. Founded in 1906 and headquartered in Westchester, Illinois, the company was formerly known as Corn Products International, Inc. before adopting its current name in June 2012. Ingredion operates through three reportable segments: Texture & Healthful Solutions, Food & Industrial Ingredients-LATAM, and Food & Industrial Ingredients-U.S./Canada.
The company serves a diverse, business-to-business customer base across food and beverage, paper, textile, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, construction, and industrial applications. Its product portfolio includes glucose and high fructose corn syrups, dextrose, maltodextrins, polyols, cornstarch, specialty industrial starches, refined corn oil, corn gluten feed, and corn gluten meal. Ingredion also supplies starches used in biomaterial applications such as biodegradable plastics, detergents, and personal care products.
As a member of the Consumer Staples sector, specifically the Agricultural Products & Services sub-industry, Ingredion benefits from the relatively inelastic demand for food inputs, which provides some insulation from economic cycles. The corn wet milling process is capital-intensive and yields multiple co-products-starch, sweeteners, oil, and feed ingredients-enabling the company to spread fixed costs across a broad product mix and a global customer base.
