Lactic acids and minerals for human health

Quality comes first

With over 80 years of experience as a supplier to the medical nutrition, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical sectors, Corbion understands that quality is paramount in these industries.

That understanding has shaped the compelling combination of proven, biobased lactic acids, lactates, and gluconates we offer, as well as the outstanding customer service that backs them up. And our backwards-integrated supply chain helps you get your quality products to market faster.

As an innovative collaborator, Corbion provides technologies that allow our partners to stand out in a competitive market. Today, we use the very latest white biotechnology techniques in the creation of a portfolio of pharma-grade sodium lactate-based products like no other.

Securing the global supply chain

We continually strive to optimize our supply chain network by improving consistency and service reliability no matter where you are in the world. Our goal is maximum peace of mind for you.

Finding ways to continuously improve our delivery times and reliability is always top of mind at Corbion, and our supply chain operation is supported by standardized documentation to further increase our responsiveness to customers.

Incident prevention is a high priority throughout our entire supply chain, supported by an extensive safety program, ongoing quality initiatives, and a maintenance program, as well as established risk identification and mitigation procedures.

If the unthinkable happens, we have emergency response plans, crisis management procedures, and business continuity plans in place to minimize any impact to our customers. We know that security of supply is critical, which is why we optimize the resilience of our supply chains with back-up alternatives and multiple production locations.

Lactic acids for parenteral & dialysis solutions

Our pharma-grade natural L (+) lactic acid (and derivatives like PURASAL S/PF sodium lactates) are ideal active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for parenteral applications, including intravenous preparations (IV) and dialysis. Our calcium gluconate is also used as an API to help address a variety of conditions, including milk fever in cattle and hypocalcemia in humans.
