Leading international supplier of lecithins and phospholipids for the food ingredients market, Lecico, has announced that it is now a proud member of the Professional Manufacturing Confectioners Association (‘PCMA’).
Based in the US, the PCMA is an internationally recognised organisation that aims to empower professionals in the confectionery and snack markets to create products that bring people joy. Its mission is to provide members with opportunities to network, learn and grow.
Timo Nieraese, Senior Area Sales Manager at Lecico commented: “We are delighted to join the PCMA as members this year. By connecting with other companies in the confectionery industry, our aim is to drive innovation in these markets through interaction at virtual and physical conferences, podcasts and more.
“In addition, the PCMA enables Lecico to add its unique voice to several committees across marketing, education and learning, production and research. As experts in lecithin and phospholipid production and manufacturing, we feel we can add tremendous value in this area to the association.”
Originally founded in 1907, the PCMA has more than 240 international members from 13 countries. Some of its members include The Hershey Company, Jelly Belly Candy Company, Lindt & Sprüngli (USA) Inc and Mars Wrigley Confectionery.
Each year, the organisation hosts a premier technical conference for the industry, which usually includes live demonstrations, tastings and interactive displays for its members.
