Kemin acquires Proteus Industries K emin Industries, a global ingredient manufacturer that strives to sustainably trans- form the quality of life every day for 80 percent of the world with its products and services, announced it has acquired Proteus Industries, Inc. This acquisition adds sustainable clean label yield enhancement technology to the global Kemin Food Technologies portfolio of ingredient solutions. Proteus Industries, Inc. was founded in 2001 in Gloucester, Mass. as a privately owned food tech- nology and ingredient company that created, de- veloped, and patented novel clean label protein ingredients and applications to improve yield, nutrition, and quality in a variety of meat and poultry and protein-based ap- plications. Kemin will rebrand the ingredient technology as Proteus®, which is now avail- able to Kemin customers in the United States to help commercial food processors improve retention of moisture and texture without reliance on arti- ficial ingredients. This provides manufacturers the opportunity to meet the label claims and product attributes consumers desire, while reducing input costs and achieving greater yields.
