With over 200 processing plants worldwide, Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) is one of the largest food ingredient manufacturers and a key supply partner of HWL.

ADM’s extensive ingredient range is processed from four main crops: cocoa, corn, soy and wheat. Using these base ingredients, ADM has developed several applications and specific products, such as the Arkady bakery range or new nutraceutical blends.

HWL has been working alongside ADM since 1990 providing our clients with a full range of premium ingredients, from simple requirements like dextrose monohydrate through to highly-functional nutraceuticals such as phytosterols and speciality fats. HWL represents all aspects of the ADM product range with the exception of soy proteins.

ADM describes itself as a ‘vertically integrated agro-processor’. This means working closely with farmers, often through contract farming, helping with harvesting and quality assurance and converting the basic agricultural crops into a range of almost 1000 ingredients. ADM then manages the transportation of required products to partners such as HWL in New Zealand.

ADM also operates comprehensive research and development facilities and will actively assist HWL in product conception and product development, especially in areas such as beverages, snacks, ready-to-eat meals and nutritional products.

ADM is the world’s premier cocoa processor, with the DeZaan® brand. ADM sources high-quality cocoa beans from all over the world to deliver consistent flavour and functional properties.

ADM Cocoa, as a processor and manufacturer, is heavily involved in several programmes that assist growers with funding and education with the aim of improving the grower’s operations and standard of living.

In 2005 ADM Cocoa launched SERAP, Socially & Environmentally Responsible Agriculture Programme, which rewards West African cooperatives committed to implementing sustainable environmental practices.

In 2006 ADM joined with NGO’s and other firms to launch UPCOCOA, a group working through cooperatives to improve farmers business operations from crop marketing and land management to product quality and productivity.

ADM have several other programs in cocoa growing regions to help achieve sustainability for all stakeholders through socially responsible business practices. For more information please contact us.

SOY

The three main ingredients derived from soy are oil, protein and lecithin. Additional specialty ingredients, such as natural Vitamin E and phytosterols, are also extracted from soy.

Control of the supply chain, from the farmer through to dispatch, allows ADM to also control the quality of the final ingredient. ADM was one of the first companies to develop the Hard Identity Preserved (IP) and the GMO DNA Negative process for soy products.

ADM is only one of four manufacturers of natural Vitamin E worldwide, and offers a range of products including mixed Tocopherols, d-alpha Tocopherols, tocopheryl actetate powders and tocopherol succinate powders.
