Burlington, ON, Canada/Kulmbach, Bavaria, Germany – (August 31, 2009)
Malabar Super Spice (Malabar) is very pleased to bring European quality and innovation in spices, seasonings and functional ingredients to Canada by partnering with RAPS of Germany. Canadian processors will have immediate access to these well-known products, improving product quality and lowering processor’s costs per pound.
RAPS selected Malabar after a rigorous review of the Canadian marketplace as the right supplier to distribute their products across the country. With this partnership, Malabar will give Canadian processors access to:
- Exceptional ground spices and seasonings from all parts of the world, processed using RAPS patented BIOFROST chilled grinding technology
- Unique & robust liquid seasonings & marinades – developed for processors, providing standardized quality, exceptional flavour & cost savings
- Patented ‘Flavocaps’ technology for micro-encapsulation of flavours
- Commercially approved, completely natural antioxidants - Stabiloton - based on pure Rosemary Extract
- The largest flavour lab in Europe
“At RAPS we concentrate on developments that benefit our customers. One out of every 10 RAPS employees work in R&D, and we develop over 600 new products every year, producing more that 23,000 tonnes of spices, seasonings & concentrates in five different plants. Most important to us, however, is bringing our deep knowledge of world flavours and processor-friendly functionality to processors in the form of our spices, seasonings and functional ingredients. We are very excited to be doing this in Canada through Malabar Super Spice.” says Paul Konstantinidis, Regional Director for RAPS North America.
"RAPS has the strictest approval process for suppliers and raw materials in the world, ensuring the best quality spices available anywhere. With downward pressure on ingredients costs, Canada has seen a lowering of spice quality throughout the industry. Malabar is pleased to reverse this trend, and is thrilled to set the standard high in the Canadian market with European quality and innovation." says Doris Valade, president of Malabar Super Spice Company.
Malabar will begin distributing RAPS products immediately throughout Canada.
