Ingredion Agrees to Acquire Tate & Lyle for $3.6 Billion, Ending London Stock Exchange Listing
US ingredients company Ingredion has agreed to acquire UK-based Tate & Lyle for £2.7 billion ($3.6 billion), which will end Tate & Lyle's near-century-long listing on the London Stock Exchange. Ingredion CEO James Zallie described the premium paid as 'fair' and said the combined entity would create an ingredients 'powerhouse.' The deal marks a significant consolidation in the global food ingredients sector and removes a long-standing British public company from UK markets.
Ingredion Inc. has announced a deal to acquire Tate & Lyle Plc for approximately £2.7 billion, or $3.6 billion, in a transaction that would combine two major players in the food and beverage ingredients industry.

Ingredion CEO James Zallie characterized the premium offered to Tate & Lyle shareholders as 'fair' and framed the merger as creating a global ingredients powerhouse. The deal reflects ongoing consolidation trends in the specialty ingredients market, where scale is increasingly important for competing on research, development, and supply chain capabilities. Further financial and operational details of the integration have not yet been fully disclosed based on available reporting.

China's Exports to US Surge 35% in May, Defying Trump's Tariff Expectations
China's exports to the United States jumped more than 35% year-over-year in May 2025, the strongest pace since early 2021, driven by technology, semiconductors, and electric vehicles. The surge follows Trump's return to office and implementation of tariffs in April, which had initially caused sharp declines in Chinese shipments.
