US starch company Penford ends Down Under sortie

US food ingredients business Penford has completed the sale of its Australian and New Zealand businesses, just nine years after buying them.

Dutch multinational chemicals and coatings business AkzoNobel is buying Penford Australia through its US-based subsidiary National Starch.

In September, Penford sold its Onehunga-based New Zealand operation to a private investment company.
