TSI Group Ltd. appointed exclusive distributor of Cargill’s vegetarian glucosamine products

Food ingredients giant Cargill has appointed TSI Group Ltd. as exclusive distributor for its Regenasure glucosamine products in China.

“We view this agreement as a strategic direction for our product line to help us meet the Chinese demand for our U.S. produced Regenasure glucosamine products as well as helping to support the promotion of vegetarian glucosamine products on a global basis,” said Mark Christiansen, acidulants product line manager, Cargill Corn Milling North America based in Wayzata, Minnesota.

TSI and Cargill recently entered into a new settlement licensing agreement for Cargill’s intellectual property with their US and Chinese patents.

“This exclusive distributor arrangement will provide the needed incentive for the growth of Cargill’s Regenasure glucosamine product line in China,” said Joe Zhou, TSI Group Ltd. co-founding partner and CEO.
