About Us

Caldic’s North American operations began in 1989 with vitamin blends under the Daminco brand and have grown through a series of strategic acquisitions. Key milestones include the formation of Acatris/Nealanders in 2000, Caldic’s acquisition of Nealanders in 2012, and the addition of The Ingredient Company, Harold T. Griffin, Cooperative Purchasing, Avatar, and CAIF Ingredients. Together, these acquisitions expanded Caldic’s expertise in blending, nutritional and functional ingredients, release agents, lecithins, and oils, helping build the broad life sciences, personal care, and biopharma portfolio it offers across North America today.
