Givaudan has announced the exclusive new distribution partnership with IMCD, a leading distributor of specialty chemicals and food ingredients. The partnership is set to provide more food and beverage manufacturers across Western Europe access to Givaudan’s flavor technology, expertise and inspiration through IMCD’s flavor team.

Working together, the companies have made a selection of locally-relevant, consumer-preferred flavors, including natural and clean label solutions. The IMCD flavors team will advise customers on the best solutions from this collection to meet their specific needs and optimize products for their market.

Commenting on the collaboration Kevin Robinson, Givaudan Commercial Head of WE stated that this new relationship supports two key pillars of 2020 strategy; partnering for shared success and growing with the customers.

The IMCD team will be able to draw on Givaudan’s industry-leading flavor solutions and a wealth of application experience to help customers solve taste, health and efficiency challenges in a wide range of products from beverages and savory foods to sweet goods and dairy.

Recently, IMCD announced the 100 percent acquisition of Canadian and US ingredients distributor L.V. Lomas. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory review and is expected to close at the end of August 2017.
