Oobli Sweet Proteins, a California-based company, has announced a strategic partnership with Magdalena's new biochem unit to manufacture and distribute its sweet protein technology across Central and South America. The collaboration aims to expand Oobli's regional footprint and support Magdalena's diversification from traditional sugar production into high-value molecules.

Why it matters

This partnership represents a significant expansion of Oobli's sweet protein technology into the growing Andean market, providing access to new customers and revenue streams. For Magdalena, the move into biochemicals diversifies its business and aligns with regional trends towards sustainable, plant-based ingredients.

The details

Under the agreement, Oobli will license its proprietary sweet protein technology to Magdalena's new biochem division, which will handle regional manufacturing and distribution. The partnership allows Oobli to leverage Magdalena's existing infrastructure and supply chain in the Andean region, while Magdalena gains access to high-value, innovative ingredients to complement its traditional sugar business.

The partnership was announced on April 15, 2026.
