ADM WILD Valencia

ADM WILD Valencia, a division of ADM (Archer Daniels Midland), is a major strategic partner and distributor in the global food and beverage ingredient supply chain.

The organization serves as a critical partner for asahi-group-holdings and asahi-group-foods in the global distribution and formulation of functional ingredients. Crucially, this partnership functions as a two-way conduit, benefiting both organizations’ strategic goals in the functional wellness market.

Global Distribution of Asahi Biotics

In 2024, ADM WILD Valencia secured an exclusive strategic supply agreement to distribute Asahi’s proprietary functional ingredients. Most notably, this includes the scientifically validated, stress-relieving probiotic/postbiotic strain lactobacillus-gasseri-cp2305.

Through this agreement, ADM facilitates the provision of these proprietary biotics to food and beverage manufacturers across North America, Europe, and Asia. This outbound distribution channel is a key driver of Asahi’s broader B2B expansion strategy.

Formulation and Ingredient Sourcing

While ADM scales Asahi’s proprietary biotics globally, the partnership simultaneously grants Asahi access to ADM’s extensive portfolio of natural botanical extracts, adaptogens, and taste modulators.

This inbound access allows Asahi to overcome common formulation challenges—such as astringency and poor mouthfeel—and execute effective ingredient-stacking in its own consumer products. By blending its evidence-backed biotics with ADM’s trending botanicals, Asahi is able to develop and refine premium, mood-boosting adult-soft-drinks aligned with the functional-premiumization trend.
