Introduction

 

L.I. Frank, member of the Barentz Group

L.I. Frank started more than 250 years ago as a family driven company in food and food additives in the Netherlands. Since 1950 we focused on soy bean processing. Due to the issues of GMO in some soy beans, in 2000 we also took up a new, sophisticated crop which made us ready for the future: lupin. Two years ago we joined the Barentz Group. Together with their widespread network we are able to introduce lupin into the rest of Europe. Along with the lupin we are now also able to source our soy beans with a Non-GMO status, coming from IP programs out of "old", cultivating areas, which have been in existence for several years. The lupin products are gaining popularity, but still deserve some extra attention, which we are happy to give as L.I. Frank is the world market leader for edible lupin products.

The third and final product group in our portfolio is a broad range of lecithin products. These vary from powder to liquids and liquids on various carriers in order to get a free-flowing product. Our lecithins are often used in the confectionary industry and in particular in the delicious Dutch syrup waffles. See the table below for the different products.
