«Darling Ingredients is off to a very solid start in 2023. Raw material volumes are in line with expectations, our global collagen and gelatin business remains robust and Diamond Green Diesel is expected to gain tremendous momentum in second quarter as lower fat prices will boost renewable diesel margins on expected higher volumes,» said Randall C. Stuewe, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. «The power of the vertically integrated business we have built will become evident over the next few quarters. Darling’s low-carbon feedstocks, coupled with Diamond Green Diesel best-in-class margins, will illustrate the margin potential for renewable diesel in a lower priced feedstock environment while still delivering strong core ingredients earnings supplemented by the recently completed Gelnex acquisition.»
