Azelis partners with Alvinesa Natural Ingredients to strengthen Asia Pacific food & nutrition portfolio

Azelis, a leading innovation service provider in the specialty chemicals and food ingredients industry, is pleased to announce a new partnership with Alvinesa Natural Ingredients (“Alvinesa”), a leading European-based provider of sustainable plant-based ingredients that promote healthy living. Partnering with Azelis allows Alvinesa to expand their footprint to the Asia Pacific region, bringing their portfolio to a more global audience. Effective immediately, this mandate expands Azelis’ lateral value chain in India, Korea and Vietnam with the addition of Alvinesa’s range of natural products, allowing the Azelis group to provide additional solutions for the growing nutraceuticals market.

Alvinesa is a “circular economy” leader that upcycles and transforms agricultural coproducts into valuable natural ingredients. Its extensive range of natural products are made from grape and olive pomace, for use in the food, beverage, nutraceutical, cosmetics and personal care, enology, and animal nutrition industries. Their portfolio includes a wide selection of grape and olive polyphenols, natural colorings, natural tartaric acid, grapeseed oil and natural wine concentrates marketed under the recently launched Vintera™ brand, which is expected to drive further growth for Alvinesa in the global nutraceutical, food and beverage, animal health and cosmetics and personal care markets, with future innovative launches in the pipeline.

Jordi Ferre, Alvinesa Natural Ingredients chief executive officer, comments, “Alvinesa is building its global health and nutrition ingredient business, and the recent launch of Vintera™ represents a clear new positioning for our portfolio in the high value, branded and scientifically backed active ingredient space. Partnering with Azelis allows us to expand our reach in Asia Pacific, finding new opportunities for growth when combining our product portfolio with their extensive market knowledge and insights, skilled sales and innovation teams with specialty ingredient expertise, and dedicated lab facilities for formulation development and support.”

Sertaç Sürür, Azelis Asia Pacific chief executive officer and president adds, “We are thrilled to add Alvinesa’s innovative range of products to our growing nutraceutical lateral value chain, further enhancing the healthy, sustainable, and plant-derived formulations and solutions we provide which are also in line with our sustainability aspirations.
