Myosyn & Behn Meyer:
Our Australian Partnership
In 2021, Myosyn Industries became part of the Behn Meyer Group — a milestone that marked a strategic commitment to strengthening the Group’s food ingredients capability in Australia and across the Asia-Pacific region.
As Behn Meyer’s dedicated food ingredients manufacturing base in Australia, Myosyn brings locally developed formulations and deep processing expertise directly to Australian food manufacturers, while leveraging the Group’s extensive global network and R&D resources.
This partnership means our customers benefit from the best of both worlds: the responsiveness and hands-on support of a locally based team, backed by the global reach, ingredient innovation, and scientific excellence of one of Asia Pacific’s most established ingredient groups.
What We Stand For, Together
Scientific Excellence
Backed by Behn Meyer’s global R&D network and application laboratories, we bring evidence-based ingredient solutions to every customer challenge.
Customer Partnership
Like Behn Meyer, we believe in building long-term relationships — not just supplying ingredients, but growing alongside our customers as a trusted partner.
Sustainability
As part of Behn Meyer’s commitment to carbon neutrality by 2040, Myosyn is aligned with a group-wide sustainability agenda that guides how we manufacture, source, and innovate.
