Azelis acquires Polish flavours distributor Euroconsultant Sp.zoo

Azelis has agreed to acquire 100% of Euroconsultant, a Polish distributor of flavours, shelf life extenders and other products predominantly for the meat segment. The transaction sees all employees joining the Azelis team and the deal is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2019.

There is an excellent strategic fit that supports our further growth in Poland and beyond, allowing us to provide an improved product offering and customer reach

Azelis believes the acquisition will significantly expand its flavours offering in one of Europe's fastest-growing economies, particularly as meat is a staple of Polish diets and the country is a major producer of meat products. Although Euroconsultant is predominantly active in the meat segment, the company has started diversifying into other segments such as fish, cheese, dairy and poultry flavours.

Renata Bugiel, regional managing director Poland and Ukraine, said: “We are very excited to bring on board such a well-reputed company like Euroconsultant, known in the market for its expertise and service. There is an excellent strategic fit that supports our further growth in Poland and beyond, allowing us to provide an improved product offering and customer reach.”

Michał Bąbelek and Bartosz Maryniak, Founders and Managing Directors of Euroconsultant, added: “We are very proud of what we have achieved over the last decade, having gradually grown the company to where it is today. Joining Azelis will only strengthen the company and will enable us to continue to thrive under their ownership, securing long-term prospects for our principals, customers, employees and other partners. While we focus on integration in short-term, we will continue to pursue our long-term ambition of increasing the use of clean smoke condensates.”
