IMCD: Your Local Partner in Food & Beverage Innovation

At IMCD, innovation is the company’s core driver. Together with FrieslandCampina Professional, IMCD enables food and beverage manufacturers to revolutionise taste, texture, and performance. The expanded agreement represents a strategic leap to redefine the future of food and beverage.

A bold new chapter
IMCD and FrieslandCampina Professional are expanding their strategic distribution partnership to deliver Kievit® solutions across key Middle Eastern markets, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, and Bahrain. This enables brands to enhance quality and speed up time-to-market for tomorrow’s food and beverage creations.

Building on a successful collaboration in select EMEA countries, the extended agreement positions IMCD as the sole distribution partner for FrieslandCampina Professional’s full range of food and beverage ingredient solutions. Manufacturers gain the advantage of IMCD’s local reach, technical expertise, and formulation capabilities paired with FrieslandCampina Professional’s proven ingredient solutions.

Award-winning Solutions

IMCD, a global leader in food and nutrition distribution and formulation, turns product ideas into reality with support in formulations, inspiration, and co-development. FrieslandCampina Professional’s innovative portfolio features the well-known Kievit® fat powders, creamers, foamers, whipping agents, cake emulsifiers, and sweet and savoury enrichers, offering versatile, high-performance ingredients for bakery, savoury, dairy, beverage, and nutrition segments.

Spotlight on the Kievit® portfolio

The Kievit® range offers a wide range of options for product developers and chefs. With new standards for foam performance and creamers that deliver rich texture and a smooth mouthfeel, the market can confidently embrace ideas that value creativity. The portfolio includes:

Kievit® Vana-Cappa is a foaming creamer designed for instant cappuccinos and single-serve systems, offering long-lasting foam stability and increased foam height tailored to diverse application needs.

Kievit® Vana-Monte offers the largest range of high-performance whipping agents, delivering smooth, light, creamy texture to premium desserts, mousses, ice cream and pastries.

Kievit® Vana-Blanca leads the market with dairy and non-dairy creamers, offering premium flavour, superior mouthfeel, and strong solubility.

Kievit® Vana-Grasa portfolio of multifunctional high-fat powders enriches the mouthfeel, taste and texture of pastries, decoration and frozen desserts.

Kievit® Vana-Crema offers the world’s widest range of instant fat powders, with flexible fat percentages and sources, plus a whitening effect for versatile color control.

And much more! Every Kievit® solution reflects purposeful innovation – engineered for functionality, driven by sensory appeal, and built for the Middle East’s climate, channels, and consumer expectations.

Why Do Product Developers Choose Kievit?
• Award-winning innovation: proven technologies set new standards for foam performance.

• Trend-forward formulations: aligned with key trends like indulgence, health consciousness, and sustainability.
• Ease of use: consistent performance, clean-label options, and versatility across beverages, bakery, and desserts.

Technical Expertise to Power Your Innovation and Formulation Needs
Innovation does not happen in isolation. It occurs through the efforts of those willing to experience, refine, and push beyond what is comfortable. That is where IMCD’s expertise becomes essential.

With its extensive presence in over 60 countries and a strong network of more than 80 laboratories worldwide, including a newly opening Food & Nutrition Technical Application Lab in Dubai, IMCD will provide regional customers with hands-on technical expertise, formulation support, and customised ingredient concepts that balance performance with purpose.
