The Ingredients Operations segment leverages advanced manufacturing processes to create specialized vegetable and fruit-derived ingredients, botanical extracts, and flavorings, catering to both human and pet food industries. An additional aspect of its operations involves recycling waste generated from tobacco processing. Established in 1886, the company maintains its headquarters in Richmond, Virginia.
