In April 2019, Emsland announced a partnership with IMPAG Group in Poland. IMPAG Poland may take over the distribution of Emsland’s product portfolio for the food industry, which includes starches, proteins, and fibers made from peas and potatoes, along with potato flakes and granules.

In March 2021, Roquette Frères collaborated with Delpharm Evereux to develop a new softgel capsule with plant-based shell. Based on Roquette’s LYCAGEL pea starch softgel technology, this vegetarian softgel is composed of hydroxypropyl pea starch, carrageenan, and other functional ingredients. It meets the requirements for both nutraceutical supplement and pharmaceutical softgel products.

In December 2019, Roquette Frères launched Roquette Pea Starch LN 30, a product suited for active nutrition applications that comes in powder shake and snack bar formats. Roquette’s digestibility analysis shows that this unique pea starch is slowly digested and may offer a sustained and easily available energy.

In April 2019, The Roquette Frères launched a new pea starch for cosmetic applications, Beauté by Roquette ST 720. It is a great film-forming agent that creates flexible, smooth, and lasting protection on both skin and hair.

In May 2021, Gillco  Ingredients  and  Cosucra  Inc.,  the  North  American subsidiary of the parent company, Cosucra Groupe Warcoing SA, entered a distribution agreement.

In October 2019, Cosucra announced its plans to open a second pea processing plant in Aarhus, Denmark, to further support its development in the plant- based food segment. Once completed, the facility will be jointly operated by its existing owner, AABT, and Cosucra.

The MoU between the companies means Mexican manufacturers can use the application laboratory and culinary center at FMX Ingredients’ facility in Monterrey to test Cosucra’s ingredients.
