According to the company’s website news release on September 29, 2022, Azelis, a leading innovation service provider in the specialty chemicals and food ingredients industry, announces that it has signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of Eurotrading S.p.A (“Eurotrading”), one of the leading distributors of specialty chemicals to the personal care market in Italy.
The acquisition reinforces Azelis’ leading footprint in the thriving Italian market for personal care, as well as in the broader life sciences segment. Eurotrading’s extensive product portfolio in actives, emollients and emulsifiers further enhances the Group’s lateral value chain and solidifies its market leadership in the local personal care industry.
Founded in 1996, Eurotrading has developed into one of the leading distributors of personal care raw materials (skin care, sun care, fragrances and hair care), with a strong product portfolio from the largest global and regional principals. The company provides innovative formulations to about 500 customers, leveraging an application laboratory near Padova, in the northeast of the country. Eurotrading’s strong team of more than 30 technical staff, including experienced senior management, will join Azelis, and will continue supporting the business during and after integration. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year, after fulfillment of customary closing conditions.
Marco Nicolato, CEO Eurotrading, comments:
“Eurotrading are thrilled to join the Azelis team, as it clearly opens new, synergistic opportunities. Becoming part of a larger, international organization offers great development, both for the team and for customers and principals. Eurotrading will also benefit from Azelis' reputation in sustainability, with EcoVadis Platinum rating and 1st place in Sustainalytics ranking, which are very important to the principals and customers in the personal care industry. Eurotrading looks forward to combining the strengths and creating a stronger business together.”
Marco Gerosa, Managing Director Azelis Italy, adds:
“Joining forces with Eurotrading furthers growth in the personal care market across Italy and EMEA. In partnerships with leading international principals, Eurotrading offers innovative solutions that perfectly complement Azelis’ product portfolio, and their strong technical sales team will bring great contributions to the business. Azelis looks forward to welcoming the Eurotrading team and delivering added value for the principals and customers.”
