Döhler Acquires Eastern European Flavours Specialist Aromes Group

As a global manufacturer and marketer of ingredients and ingredient systems, Döhler has secured its leading position in flavours for beverages and food through the 100 % takeover of the Polish Aromes Group. Alongside its core competence in the field of flavours, Aromes also provides its customers with beverage bases, emulsions, colours and compounds. In addition to Aromes's production site, which is located near Warsaw (Grodzisk Mazowiecki), the company also has two sales locations in Ukraine and the Baltics. As a renowned partner for the food and beverage industry, Aromes has many years of experience in the production of premium flavours and extracts and in the application of baked goods, confectionery and beverages, as well as detailed knowledge of the Eastern European market and its consumers. This has allowed Aromes to develop a product portfolio that is tailored especially to local taste preferences. In addition to premium extracts and flavours for beverages, including many flavour specialities in regionally significant flavours, Aromes also offers a wide-ranging flavour portfolio for the baked goods and confectionery industry. This final strategic part of the portfolio makes Döhler the ideal partner for the Eastern European food and beverage industry.

The Eastern European food and beverage market is one of the fastest-growing in the EU. By acquiring Aromes, Döhler is paving the way for further growth in the Eastern European flavours market and the expansion of business activities in the food segment.
