Crespel & Deiters restructure puts refinement expert on course for continued global growth
This has resulted in the group's leadership reorganising business divisions to highlight the company's evolution from wheat specialist to refinement expert for plant-based raw materials – all of which is underscored by a new strapline, logo and website.
With its new positioning as a refinement expert, the long-established family business is broadening its raw material portfolio and processing technologies to encompass additional application fields. A wide selection of plant-based raw materials combined with deep technological expertise enables the company to respond, to precise and individual customer requirements. The group's technological competence is becoming increasingly visible across industries, positioning the company as a strategic development partner for performance-oriented and sustainable solutions.
The motto ‘Nature. Refined. Since 1858’ puts the company's decades of expertise in the processing of renewable plant-based raw materials centre stage. Where Crespel & Deiters once focused exclusively on wheat-based raw materials and their refinement, today the group also processes other raw materials such as pea and fava bean. Using modern techniques including extrusion, blending, protein hydrolysis and modification, Crespel & Deiters delivers highly functional, global solutions for both the food and paper processing industries.
To further sharpen the group's profile, existing business divisions have been consolidated under the Crespel & Deiters brand. This includes the former Loryma, a producer of food ingredients whose well-established product names – such as those in the Lory® range – remain in place. Also integrated is the Corrugating & Paper division, offering solutions for the paper and corrugated board industry, while the name of the widely recognised Definol® range for high-performance adhesives remains unchanged.

About Us
International confectionery association SWEETS GLOBAL NETWORK e. V. (SG) is an established network of over 300 member companies based in ten countries. SG is the leading communication platform for confectionery professionals in German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and beyond. Meanwhile, most companies involved in manufacturing and retailing confectionery (wholesalers, specialist retailers, importers, brokers, producers) are members. All enjoy huge benefits, such as a range of high quality services and invitations to exclusive, member only events. There are an additional 40 supporting members active in the confectionery industry supply sector.
The International Sweets Business Forum in Berlin has taken SG well beyond the traditional territory of conventional training seminars and workshops. Social events, such as the New Year Reception in Munich or the ISM WARM UP held on the eve of the ISM in Cologne now rank as must-attend fixtures in the confectionery business year.
While acknowledging the growing significance of the global information and knowledge community, SG never loses sight of what’s going on at a local level. Articles in SG-Magazin and sweets processing, the SG-Newsletter (several times a week), annual publication of the SG-Directory and worldwide contacts bear witness to the pronounced internationality of the association.
