The acquisition is synergistic for Turpaz's activities and is expected to significantly increase the circle of customers and the volume of sales, while expanding the product portfolio, deepening its activities and its market share in emerging markets. Turpaz intends to utilize the development, production and sales capabilities of Food Base to develop its business in the area.
According to Karen Cohen Khazon, Chairperson of the Board and CEO of Turpaz: "This acquisition continues the implementation of the global growth strategy of the Turpaz Group, and strengthens our presence and our market share in emerging markets, while continuing to strengthen Turpaz's position as a leading global player. The capabilities of Food Base and its many years of experience in the field of flavors for the food and beverage industry will be a strategic asset for Turpaz. We expect that sales in the markets where Food Base is active will continue to grow in the coming years as a result of changes in consumer preferences and the continued transition to the purchase of convenience food and health beverages as well as, as a result of the synergy of customers, products and technologies between the group companies."
