IMCD and FrieslandCampina Professional have expanded their distribution partnership further across the EMEA market.
From the start of next year, IMCD will be responsible for the distribution of FrieslandCampina's Kievit portfolio of food and beverage ingredients throughout several new markets.
By harnessing IMCD's technical expertise, formulation capacity and local reach, FrieslandCampina will expand its reach across the key market, which has experienced significant growth in recent years.
Building on a successful collaboration in select countries including Italy, the Nordics, Poland, South & East Africa, UK and Ireland, the extended agreement positions IMCD as the sole
distribution partner for FrieslandCampina Professional’s full range of food and beverage ingredient solutions.
Through this agreement, IMCD will be exclusively responsible for the distribution of the Kievit portfolio in Germany, France, Iberia, the Middle East, Switzerland and Greece — significantly expanding the range's global reach.
The Kievit portfolio includes fat powders, creamers, foamers, whipping agents, cake emulsifiers and sweet and savoury enrichers, which are specifically formulated for high performance across bakery, dairy, savoury, and nutrition applications.
With its extensive presence in over 60 countries and a strong network of more than 80 laboratories worldwide, including 16 Food & Nutrition application laboratories and 4 pilot
laboratories in EMEA, IMCD will provide regional customers with hands-on technical expertise, formulation support, and customised ingredient concepts.
"After many years of successful collaboration, we are proud to be appointed as the lead partner for FrieslandCampina Professional’s B2B go-to-market strategy across Europe, the
Middle East, and Africa," said Marc van Gerwen, Business Group Director, IMCD Food & Nutrition.
"This expanded partnership strengthens our ability to drive both growth and productivity, extend our reach in key markets, and co-develop innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of food and beverage manufacturers, service providers and other industry partners.”
“We are excited to expand our partnership with IMCD across these important EMEA markets,” said Mark Stolzenbach, Managing Director Industry & Trading, FrieslandCampina
Professional.
“IMCD’s strong local presence, customer intimacy, and technical support will allow us to better serve our customers with speed, flexibility, and innovation. We look forward to continued growth together and to delivering even greater value to the market," he concluded.
