Functional foods
Founded by director Steve Loake in 1995, DFI specialises in functional foods, nutritional and sports ingredients, and vitamin and mineral premixes. It lists food, nutraceuticals and soft drinks companies among its customers.
“This month, we will be celebrating our 21st birthday and our substantial 2015 growth figures make for a double celebration,” Loake said.
‘Unprecedented growth’
“During 2015, we saw unprecedented growth with a major influx of new client accounts, significantly expanded orders from existing clients, and cross-referrals within existing accounts.
We also opened our US office and warehousing facility in Los Angeles.”
