PROFILE |
 |
The main ingredients in CSM are, well, ingredients. CSM makes and distributes food products and ingredients to food processors, retailers, and institutional food service organizations in Europe, the Americas, and Asia. The company, which became the world's leading manufacturer of bakery ingredients with the purchase of Unilever's European bakery supply unit in 2000, also makes sugar and confections under the Leaf name, and lactic acid products through its PURAC subsidary. CSM sold off its food division, (soups, syrups, pasta, rice, and cereal) to US ketchup king H.J. Heinz, in order to focus on core businesses.
