Specialty chemical and health ingredient distributor IMCD has agreed to acquire 100% of Ferrer Alimentación's shares.
The Iberian food and beverage ingredient distributor will bolster IMCD's portfolio of service delivery and value-added solutions for the functional ingredient market.
This acquisition further expands IMCD's reach in Iberia following its acquisition of TECOM Ingredients.
Founded in 1955, the Ferrer Alimentación has expanded to serve a broad customer base, covering everything from specialised nutrition to bakery, dairy, beverages and meat.
The company's portfolio includes fibres, powdered whey, proteins and maltodextrins, as well as native and modified starches.
Ferrer Alimentación's team of 37 employees offer IMCD deep industry expertise alongside specialised distribution capabilities, enabling efficient delivery.
Notably, the company reported annual revenues of ca. €112m during FY2024.
“IMCD and Ferrer Alimentación share the same vision and cultural values, making our companies an ideal match to outpace the challenges of the future,” said José Alcover, Managing Director of IMCD Iberia & Maghreb.
“Their strong portfolio, broad network of customers and suppliers, deep understanding of the food markets, and unwavering focus on customer needs are exactly the attributes we value in a partner. We’re excited about the opportunities this will unlock for our combined teams, supply partners and customers.”
“After almost 50 years of activity, Ferrer Alimentación and Medir Ferrer have become one of the leading distributors that customers trust for our professionalism, reliability, ambition, and passion for the food and nutrition community,” said Emma Gómez Ballesté, General Manager of Ferrer Alimentación and Medir Ferrer.
“Joining IMCD marks the beginning of a new chapter, one that will allow our people and partners to grow even stronger, while staying true to the principles and relationships that have guided us for decades.”
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in June 2025.
