Corbion Expanding Production Line for Sour Candy Powders
Corbion, a renowned ingredient manufacturer, is in the process of enhancing its production capabilities with a new assembly line dedicated to sour candy powders. This expansion will take place at the company's Montmeló facility in Spain. Food-grade malic acid powders, an essential coating and ingredient for gummy and jelly candies, are at the heart of this development. These candies constitute a substantial sector with a global market worth exceeding $17 billion annually.

The sour coating on gummy candies is often malic acid.
Corbion highlights that sour variations of gummy candies are leading the way in this category, experiencing the highest number of new product launches and overall growth. Concurrently, the supply of acid powders is showing signs of tightening, which makes this expansion a strategic move for the company.
