AB Enzymes, a Germany-based ingredient firm, has entered into a five-year distribution agreement with Barentz, continuing its long-term partnership.
The agreement expands Barentz presence in the European market to include international territories and strengthen global customer base and market share of both the parties in the baking, beverage and specialty enzymes segments.
AB Enzymes, part of the ABF Ingredients, is well recognized for a wide range of Veron products in the baking sector and Rohapect, Rohavin and Rohalase for beverage and specialties applications.
AB Enzymes CEO Aryan Moelker said the development underscores the company's mutual commitment to provide excellent products and services to customers and the collaboration builds on its key partnership strategy.
"Barentz is a globally recognized distributor in the industry and renowned for their proven track-record and reliable customer service. The integrated business processes between AB Enzymes and Barentz as preferred distributor have developed into an excellent solution for Food & Beverage customers," Moelker added.
Barentz International CEO Hidde van der Wal said, through this intensified partnership, the company can give its Food & Nutrition customers in virtually all European countries, including Turkey, the opportunity to work with the whole AB Enzymes product range, which will benefit them greatly in their product development.
"We look forward to continue working with AB Enzymes in Europe and to grow the business with them on a more integrated, pan-European scale," van der Wal added.
