Azelis, a leading innovation service provider in the specialty chemicals and food ingredients industry, announces that it has signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of Hortimex Sp. z o.o. (‘Hortimex’), a specialty chemicals distributor active in the food ingredients and nutraceuticals segments serving the Polish market.
The acquisition expands the group’s footprint in Poland, complementing Azelis’ lateral value chain in the Food & Nutrition segment. Azelis is active in this market thanks to its Regional Competence Center for Meat and Meat Alternatives, based in Poznań, Poland, while Hortimex is a well-established distributor of food ingredients with a particular focus on non-meat applications, such as human nutrition, functional preparations, confectionery, and bakery.
Małgorzata Makówka, Managing Director Azelis Poland & Ukraine, adds:
“We are delighted to welcome Hortimex, a recognized company in the industry with a strong track record of excellence and customer satisfaction, to the Azelis team. Hortimex’s portfolio and competencies perfectly complement Azelis’ local footprint, creating a compelling proposition for both customers and principals in the food & nutraceuticals market.”
