Brenntag, the global market leader in chemicals and ingredients distribution, announces an additional expansion of the business collaboration with Coöperatie Koninklijke Avebe UA (Royal Avebe).
Through this expanded partnership, Brenntag Specialties will supply its customers in four Nordic (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden) and three Baltic countries (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) with potato starch and derivatives from Royal Avebe starting 1 January 2024.
Royal Avebe is an international farmer cooperative that produces potato starch and potato protein. The products are used in the food, animal feed and construction industries.
Brenntag originally announced the partnership with Avebe in June 2023, covering Turkey, and expanded it to the Benelux countries in October.
Michael Friede, Chief Executive Officer Brenntag Specialties, comments: "Sequentially expanding our partnership with Avebe shows our commitment to provide our customers globally with products from our innovative product portfolio sourced from excellent, high-quality supply partners. I look forward to continue growing together."
Chris Hollebek, Chief Commercial Officer at Royal Avebe, added: "Building on our relationship with distribution agreements in place in the Benelux countries and Turkey, we are delighted to further expand our partnership with Brenntag, our trusted partner with a global distribution network."
"Now we can offer products and services to an even larger local customer base also in the Nordic and Baltic region.”
