Primient

Primient is a prominent producer of food and industrial ingredients sourced from renewable, plant-based materials. Established in April 2022, the company evolved from A.E. Staley Manufacturing Co., which has a history dating back to 1906. Primient emerged following a transaction involving Tate & Lyle's Primary Products business in North America and Latin America, with KPS Capital Partners acquiring a controlling stake. The company offers a wide range of products across various sectors, including food and beverage ingredients like acidulants and sweeteners, animal feed, and materials for industrial applications such as packaging and paper. Primient also provides plant-based ingredients for personal care and apparel industries. With six manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and Brazil, Primient employs around 1,800 people and is committed to sustainable practices through significant investments in its operations. In 2023, the company established a new headquarters in Schaumburg, Illinois, and announced plans for a $500 million investment to enhance its facilities.
