Purecircle Limited

UK listed producer of stevian-based high intensity sweetener used as a sugar substitute in a wide range of applications. Its proprietary process technology is able to produce high purity stevian-rebaudiana products which meet the stringent requirement of the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (“FMCG”) industry. PureCircle is well positioned to ride on the fast growing natural sweetener market in view of rising consumption of healthier products which include sugar substitutes and related products as a result of growing health awareness and demand for the benefits of a better lifestyle.

The company scored initial supply contracts with two major international FMCG companies and a global commodity distributor. Since then, it has collaborated with more FMCG companies (including Pepsico, Unilever, Nestle) on new product developments using its Reb-A as an ingredient. PureCircle was listed on AIM in December 2007 and raised US$50 million based on market capitalisation (post issue) of around US$450 million.
