Strategic Acquisition Strengthens Carbery’s Flavours and Ingredients Portfolio
Ireland-based Carbery Group has acquired the US flavours business of Prinova, a major global supplier of ingredients and premix manufacturing solutions. The acquisition marks another step in Carbery’s international growth strategy and strengthens its position in the flavours and ingredients market.
The deal will expand Carbery’s footprint in the United States, where it already operates through its flavour division, Synergy Flavors.
Expanding Presence in the US Market
Prinova, a subsidiary of Japan’s Nagase Group, is one of the world’s leading distributors of functional ingredients and operates across multiple international markets.
By acquiring Prinova’s US flavours business, Carbery gains additional capabilities, customers, and market reach in one of the world’s largest food and beverage markets.
The acquisition is expected to enhance Carbery’s ability to provide innovative flavour solutions while strengthening its overall ingredients portfolio.
Supporting Long-Term Growth Strategy
According to Carbery, the multimillion-euro transaction aligns with the company’s broader diversification and acquisition strategy.
The company believes the acquisition will help reduce exposure to commodity price fluctuations while supporting long-term business stability and growth.
Carbery has consistently expanded its global operations in recent years through strategic investments, acquisitions, and manufacturing expansion projects.
Building a Stronger Global Network
Carbery currently operates facilities across several countries, including Ireland, the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Italy, Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia.
The company serves customers in more than 50 international markets and is recognized for its dairy, nutrition, and flavour ingredient businesses.
Executives from Carbery stated that the acquisition will complement the existing Synergy Flavors portfolio and provide customers with a broader range of flavour solutions.
Industry Consolidation Continues
The acquisition reflects a wider trend of consolidation within the global ingredients and flavour industry. Companies are increasingly pursuing acquisitions to expand geographic reach, enhance technical capabilities, and strengthen customer relationships.
As competition intensifies and customer demands evolve, strategic acquisitions are expected to remain a key growth driver across the ingredients sector.
