Cognis N & H eZine

Cognis integration into BASF What does it mean for you as a customer? The answer is that we expect business operations to continue to run smoothly during the transition and, with our enlarged portfolio of products and concepts, we look forward to sharing some very exciting future prospects with you. Following the Cognis acquisition in December, we are now reaching the end of the ‘concept and planning’ phase and are about to begin the all-important implementation of our integration plan. Our teams are committed to ensuring that all aspects of our service to customers will continue normally while we complete the process. In the Human Nutrition group, we will continue - and extend - the now well-established Newtrition™ strategy, developed in response to the wellness megatrend.

By offering forward-looking concepts and formulations with our newly enlarged portfolio of ingredients, we will deliver solutions to add even more feel-good factors to your products. After the integration, customers will also benefit from complemented and extended value-chains, broadened technology platforms, as well as strengthened market, formulation and application know-how. Vitafoods Europe will provide an early opportunity for you to experience the advantages that the BASF-Cognis combination can offer. We warmly invite you to visit our stand (741), where we look forward to exploring new business opportunities with you.

Strategy for success

It is absolutely key to be able to demonstrate the product benefit - and for people to experience and feel the benefit.

Topic 1– Expert Insight

The delivery format and taste of the product are key issues - if products don’t taste good, people won’t eat them.

If you are using an ingredient that delivers any kind of health property, there is no point in putting it into a product that doesn’t already have some perception of ‘better for your health’.

„Expert Brands“ are very important for success in food and health - not just a product, but a service; lots of information in simple consumer-friendly language, to help people do what they need to do in order to stick with the program and experience the benefit.

If you’re unable to make a claim (because of legislative restrictions) you need to create awareness in the end-consumer market.

Ιnvest in marketing; makers of successful products in this sector typically plough back about 15 to 20% of retail sales into marketing activities.

Benefit, format and brand - everything needs to fit together in a way that makes sense to the consumer

Shape Up Tonalin® CLA ampoules

Health and beauty in one shot Issues of weight management and body fat reduction are ever-present in the minds of consumers. Cognis has worked closely with its customer Sanomed GmbH to develop “Shape Up” - Tonalin® CLA. Delivered in ampoules, the product presents an effective daily dose in one shot. This innovative delivery form is ideal for busy people who are looking for a convenient and tasty way to support their health, or for consumers who dislike or are unable to take capsules. With a pleasant multi-fruit flavor, this effective 25 ml supplement is targeted to active and body conscious people. Tonalin® CLA is the most thoroughly researched and tested CLA on the market,

enabling manufacturers to make a verifiable benefit claim. Formulated in a sophisticated manufacturing process, the ampoules do not need cooling, which means that they can easily be taken on the go or whilst traveling. “Shape Up” Tonalin® ampoules perfectly meet consumer demands for convenience, effect and taste and they finally close the gap between dietary supplements and food. All these properties make “Shape Up” ampoules an attractive delivery form for consumers and an excellent product form for retail. Contact: Arne Ptock (Global Product Line Manager Tonalin) > arne.ptock@cognis.com

Tonalin® CLA supports the “beauty-from-within” concept and works in four ways*: • It decreases the amount of fat stored after eating. • It increases fat breakdown in fat cells. • It increases the rate of fat metabolism. • It decreases the total number of fat cells in the human body. 1
