Nexture to debut at Fi Europe 2025
The group aims to position itself as a leader in the development and production of high-quality, value-added food ingredients across bakery, fine pastry, dairy, ice cream, plant-based alternatives, and culinary sectors.
FRANCE – Nexture is set to make its global debut at Fi Europe 2025, showcasing its consolidated platform of innovative food ingredient solutions.
Established as a holding company, Nexture combines the expertise and heritage of several leading ingredient businesses, including CSM Ingredients, Italcanditi, HiFood, and has recently announced the acquisition of Frulact.
The group aims to position itself as a leader in the development and production of high-quality, value-added food ingredients across bakery, fine pastry, dairy, ice cream, plant-based alternatives, and culinary sectors.
At stand #72G18, Nexture will offer a comprehensive overview of how the group is committed to evolving the future of ingredients through an integrated, cross-category journey across three strategic areas: Better for You, Better for the Planet, and Superb Eating Experiences.
Better For You
Nexture offers solutions to improve the nutritional profile of foods while ensuring uncompromised taste and performance.
Protein enrichment plays a central role in this area: HIFOOD’s Proteios TVPs – textured vegetable proteins – are ideal for boosting protein in baked goods and plant-based alternatives.
CSM Ingredients’ high-protein mixes are ideal to enrich bread and baked goods, while Vitalfood’s ready-to-use protein creams combine indulgence with enhanced nutritional values in fine pastry and bakery applications.
The focus on nutritional improvement also includes a commitment to lowering sugar and fat content in goods, with a new generation of no added sugar fruit jams and of semi-candied fruit with only soluble fiber (rich in fibers and with lower calories) by Vitalfood, as well as the plant-based, reduced fat emulsion SlimBAKE by CSM Ingredients that enables the production of laminated goods with lower calories compared to the standard recipes.
Better for the Planet
Nexture’s efforts also focus on developing solutions to reduce the environmental impact of ingredients across the entire food value chain and to make the ecosystem more resilient.
In this context, egg-replacement and reduction solutions remain a priority: Veganeez by HIFOOD is an entirely plant-based system for the cold production of vegan sauces and dressings.
CSM Ingredients’ Egg ’n Easy range allows for significantly reducing the content of egg in baked goods up to 50% in muffins and cakes, and up to 100% in brioche, while maintaining quality and performance.
Magic Glaze is a plant-based, cleaner-label, 100% egg-free premium glazing alternative for baked goods that guarantees the golden shine and attractive finish consumers expect.
In addition, Nexture will also spotlight sustainable cocoa alternatives. CSM Ingredients will present Nuaré, its new carob-based range of cocoa alternatives that ensure reliable supply, excellent performance across bakery and ice cream, and new creative possibilities thanks to the unique optical and sensory qualities.
Vitalfood by Italcanditi will further enrich this area with both cocoa-alternative creams and innovative coffee-alternative toppings.
These solutions respond to increasing supply-chain volatility while offering manufacturers options with a significantly reduced environmental footprint.
