Brenntag strengthens market presence in Turkey

Brenntag, the global leader in chemical distribution, announces the acquisition of the Turkish Specialty Chemicals distributors Aromaster, Ltd. and Trend Gida, Ltd. Both distributors operate as partner of Givaudan, one of the most respected companies in the international fragrance and flavour industry. To extend its leadership position, Givaudan acquired Quest International in 2007 from ICI Group. Since then, the company continuously streamlines its distribution activities in Turkey with Brenntag as exclusive distribution partner.

 

Brenntag CEE acquired Givaudan’s distributor Aromaster Ltd. already in May 2008. The acquisition of Trend Gida Ltd., former distributor of Quest International, has now been executed in a second step. The product portfolio of both Specialty Chemicals distributors comprises liquid and powder flavours. Following the transactions, Brenntag is the exclusive distribution partner of Givaudan in the flavour segment in Turkey.
