Synergy said that the move, for which no financial details were disclosed, strengthens its supply chain in Brazil and Latin America.
Synergy Flavors president and CEO Roderick Sowders said in a statement: “This expansion offers significant benefits to our customers by providing a state-of-the-art facility to serve the growing demand for food and beverage flavorings in Brazil. It is our belief that Brazilian food engineers appreciate the quick response time of a local flavor company while at the same time, benefitting from the creative technologies of a global flavor company.”
The acquisition includes a new facility with flavor creation and applications laboratories and flavor manufacturing, as well as employees.
Commercial director of Synergy Aromas Zilned Machado said: “We have traditionally been strong in the beverage and dairy segments, and these new process capabilities will expand our efforts into bakery, confection and nutritional products, as well as allow us to better serve our Saporesse customers with our proprietary yeast extract used for sodium reduction and dairy enhancement projects.”
