“We have missed some of our interactions with our customers, distributors, agents and prospects in the industry over the past several months, since most trade shows and events have been cancelled due to the global pandemic. However, with agility in mind, we turned this challenge into an opportunity to take advantage of new technology and reimagine how we can connect with customers and prospects,” said Jérôme Béra, Senior Vice President, Global Marketing at CP Kelco.
“Today, we invite our customers, distributors, agents and prospects to explore our new virtual meeting place, which offers a full range of dynamic content including webinars, videos, whitepapers and more,” Béra said. “The best part is that you can join from anywhere at any time. We like to say it’s a way to connect with CP Kelco from your couch!”
After registering, visitors will be warmly greeted by CP Kelco President Didier Viala at the entrance of the virtual environment. From there, visitors are free to navigate through the lobby, where they can access insights on key market trends and our latest ingredient solutions for a variety of applications.
“Of course, being at trade shows enables visitors to see different product innovations up close,” said Béra. “The next best option for experiencing our unique food & beverage prototypes will be in our virtual test kitchen, scheduled to open later this fall. We strongly encourage people to return often to our virtual venue to explore what’s new!”

ATLANTA, August 17, 2020 – CP Kelco, a global leader of nature-based ingredient solutions, is proud to announce that its newest innovation, NUTRAVA™ Citrus Fiber, has won the 2020 Ringier Technology Innovation Award for Creative Plant-Based Product (Food & Beverage Ingredients category). The award was officially presented at a ceremony held in conjunction with the Nutritious Food Functional Beverage Technology Summit in Guangzhou, China, on August 13.
“It’s an honor for our newest ingredient to be recognized in this prestigious awards program,” said Jérôme Béra, Senior Vice President, Global Marketing. “NUTRAVA™ Citrus Fiber delivers multifunctional benefits and helps meet consumers’ clean label expectations in a variety of food and beverage products, while also contributing to daily dietary fiber intake.”
A unique next-generation, nature-based ingredient, NUTRAVA™ Citrus Fiber is sourced from intact citrus peels, a byproduct of the juicing industry. CP Kelco’s patented process converts the peels into a citrus fiber that is both highly functional and close to nature.
As an innovative solution in the product developer’s clean label toolbox, NUTRAVA™ Citrus Fiber enables stabilization, thickening, suspension, emulsion stability and water-binding capabilities, and also supports sugar/fat reduction efforts. It can help developers reduce the total number of ingredients on the product label and even replace starch or egg in recipes. Key applications include fruit-flavored drinks, dressings, condiments, soups, sauces, bakery and meat products.
The Ringier Technology Innovation Awards is one of the most prominent and influential industry awards programs in China, recognizing innovation pioneers in food and beverage ingredients and processing technology. The judges come from universities, research institutes and food industry associations.
