The Philippines is home to DKSH, and its facility there is equipped with a state-of-the-art food innovation center supported by a team of food scientists and subject matter experts. Kemin customers in the country will benefit from the availability of these facilities and the DKSH team’s expertise, as it will increase the speed to market of products and gain a competitive edge within foods and beverages – an imperative in the ever-changing industry.

“Our customers and those they serve are at the heart of what we do in Kemin Food Technologies.
