Olivier Rigaud, CEO of Corbion, said in February 2023 that the company achieved record growth and profitability in 2022 despite what he described as the highest market volatility he had seen in 35 years. He stated that Corbion adapted to cost inflation and supply chain disruptions through price increases, mix improvement, and operating efficiency gains. Rigaud noted that the company achieved break-even in its algae-based omega-3 business, increased carbon footprint reduction targets, and invested in production capacity in Thailand, the United States, and Singapore. In January 2023, Rigaud participated in an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he discussed Corbion’s focus on replacing synthetic ingredients with natural alternatives. He said the company works with suppliers to reduce emissions and provides customers with carbon footprint data. In comments on first-half 2022 results, Rigaud reported organic net sales growth of 23.4% and said the company had passed on cost increases to the market without experiencing adverse volume impacts. Earlier in 2022, he described a strong first quarter with above 20% organic growth and margin recovery, while emphasizing safety and innovation as ongoing priorities.
“In my 35 years in the industry I've never seen anything like the market volatility we've been and still are experiencing. Even so for Corbion it was a record year in terms of growth and profitability and we made real progress in delivering on our Advanced 2025 strategy.”
“We adapted to unprecedented cost inflation and supply chain disruptions through a disciplined combination of price increases, mix improvement and operating efficiency gains. In our Core Business, product mix improvement more than offset lower volumes which says a lot about the strength of our differentiated portfolio.”
