In a landmark victory for American industry and fair trade, PURIS, the leading North American pea protein manufacturer, proudly announces the International Trade Commission's unanimous 4-0 vote in favor of imposing duties on pea protein imports, effective immediately. This decisive action underscores the Commission's commitment to upholding fair trade practices and echoes the Department of Commerce's recent ruling which reinforced PURIS's stance against unfair competition from Chinese imports.
PURIS extends its heartfelt gratitude to its dedicated employees, loyal farmers, supportive customers, and government officials who have stood by the company throughout this journey. Their unwavering support has been instrumental in achieving this milestone.
"As we celebrate this pivotal victory with the International Trade Commission's unanimous decision, we stand in awe of the collective strength and dedication that brought us here. Our employees' relentless commitment, our farmers' unwavering support, our customers' steadfast trust, and the guidance of our government officials have been the cornerstone of this journey,” shared Tyler Lorenzen, CEO of PURIS, “This triumph is not just PURIS's alone; it is a testament to the power of unity and the spirit of American enterprise. Together, we have set a new standard for integrity and fairness in trade, and we will continue to lead with these values at the forefront of all we do."
As we turn the page on this chapter, PURIS looks forward to continuing its mission of providing sustainable, high-quality plant-based ingredients. We remain steadfast in our commitment to investing in our suppliers, farmers, and communities, reinforcing our vision for a sustainable and resilient food system.
