SOLAE

The 'Solae Company' is an international soy ingredients supplier based in St. Louis, MO. The Solae Company is an alliance between DuPont and Bunge Limited. The company develops branded, plant-based specialty food, feed and industrial ingredients, focusing on soy. Solae ingredients are used in more than 80 percent of all clinical research on soy protein. Many of the studies supporting the Food and Drug Administration approved health claim are based on research using Solae soy protein.
The Solae Company was founded in 1958. At first, it only produced industrial soy protein products. The business evolved to making food products 15 years later. For more than 30 years, The Solae Company has invested in research to further understand the health benefits of soy protein. The company has supported the research on the effects of soy protein on heart health for more than a quarter century. Other areas of study related to soy protein include sports nutrition, cancer prevention, and women's health. Today, Solae employs about 3,500 people in manufacturing operations in four major regions and six technical centers around the world. More than 180 leading universities and research institutes use the company's soy protein for research initiatives.
In 1997, Dupont purchased a Soy Plant located in Memphis, TN from Ralson Purina. In 2003, this plant was officially brought into The Solae Company's family. This plant uses Recycled Landfill Gas for its production equipment, in an agreement with Shelby County.
In 2007, The Solae Company announced a collaboration with Monsanto Company to develop products containing Omega-3 fatty acids.
