USA – The Solae Company has been formed as a result of collaboration between Bunge Limited and DuPont Protein Technologies.

Solae is a developer and marketer of branded, plant-based speciality food, feed and industrial ingredients.

Bunge and DuPont have finalised agreements and contributed assets, including DuPont’s Protein Technologies business and Bunge’s North American and European ingredients operations.

In the second stage, Bunge will contribute its Brazilian ingredients operations. Bunge will then sell its majority interest in these operations to the Solae Company, which will in turn offer to acquire the interests of minority shareholders.
