Carbery Group has announced the acquisition of the US flavours business of Prinova, a wholly owned subsidiary of the NAGASE Group and a leading global supplier of ingredients and premix manufacturing solutions.

This move will expand Carbery’s business in the US (trading as Synergy Flavors).

Carbery Group has facilities in eight locations globally including Ireland, the US, the UK, Brazil, Italy, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia and produces dairy and nutritional ingredients for more than 50 markets globally.

Carbery CEO Jason Hawkins said they are very excited about the potential from this acquisition.

‘This will be a great addition to the Synergy business portfolio, and gives us a broader offering for our customers. We will continue to diversify our business to deliver value for shareholders, service and innovation for our customers and to retain and grow our excellent global team.’

 Synergy US CEO Kevin Collins said it is a great opportunity for them to add to their business and customer offerings.

‘The acquisition builds on our existing capabilities in our Flavours business and creates the ability to support long-term growth across a multitude of categories. Our expanded team’s flavour expertise and capability will help our customers to achieve their strategic growth ambitions. Our shared commitment to creating a positive culture will enable us to work closely with our colleagues to ensure a smooth transition for all customers.’
