Danisco Malaysia

Danisco Malaysia Company Introduction

Danisco Malaysia was the Malaysian arm of Danisco, a former global leader in food ingredients, enzymes, and bio-based solutions. The company specialized in providing a wide array of ingredients to the food, beverage, and other industries. Its products were designed to enhance food quality, safety, and functionality, addressing aspects such as taste, texture, shelf life, and nutritional value. Globally, Danisco was renowned for its innovations in areas like probiotics, cultures for dairy, emulsifiers, stabilizers, sweeteners, and enzyme solutions.

Nature of Business:

Danisco is fundamentally a manufacturer of food ingredients and bio-ingredients. In Malaysia, Danisco Malaysia operated as a key sales, marketing, and technical support center, facilitating the distribution of its globally manufactured products within the Malaysian market and the broader Southeast Asian region. While its core products were manufactured in Danisco's global facilities, the Malaysian entity served as a crucial trading and distribution point, often engaging in local blending, packaging, or formulation to meet specific regional demands. Therefore, it functions as both a manufacturer (globally, with local processing/packaging/distribution capabilities) and a trading entity (for local sales and distribution).

Current Status:

Following a series of corporate acquisitions, Danisco is now a significant part of IFF (International Flavors & Fragrances). IFF continues to offer and expand the comprehensive portfolio of ingredients that originated from Danisco, maintaining a strong operational presence in Malaysia as IFF (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd.

Danisco Malaysia, operating as part of International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) following prior acquisitions, supplies a comprehensive range of food ingredients to the food and beverage industry. The products offered include food cultures for dairy and fermentation, including probiotic cultures; various enzymes for applications in baking, brewing, dairy, and fruit processing; emulsifiers and stabilizers for enhancing the texture and shelf life of products such as ice cream, beverages, and sauces; sweeteners like xylitol and polydextrose; dietary fibers; hydrocolloids for thickening and gelling; antioxidants for food preservation; and functional protein solutions.
