INGR

Ingredion Incorporated

A global maker of starches and sweeteners, transforming plant-based materials like corn into ingredients used in foods, beverages, and brewing. It traces back to the Corn Products Refining Company, formed in 1906, which gave the world pantry staples like Karo syrup and Mazola corn oil. In 2012 it renamed itself Ingredion—a blend of "ingredients" and a Greek word meaning "something that goes"—to reflect its move toward health-focused ingredients.
