Innovation is at the heart of all we do; in fact, we consider ourselves the Texture
Innovation Company™.

In a business climate where other companies are reducing their investment into basic research of hydrocolloids and stabilizers, we see the limitless potential of these ingredients and continue to expand our research and development efforts. In fact, we opened our Texture Innovation Center™ in 2008 to expand our testing and analytical capabilities. From the state-of-the-art pilot plant, to the commercial grade testing kitchen and the sensory testing rooms, TIC Gums is prepared to turn even the most difficult texture or stabilization challenges into solutions.

Our TicaPAN™ line of products for panned confections and FASTir™ Xanthan EC are a few of the latest example of our innovative successes.
