Over 15,000 small, medium and large customers worldwide look to Barentz to deliver safe, innovative and environmentally friendly speciality ingredients. The human nutrition, animal nutrition, performance materials and pharmaceutical industries all depend on Barentz’s diverse portfolio of products. Its importance cannot be understated, as more than 60,000 products from over 2,000 manufacturers in 70 countries hit its global distribution network every day. Add to that a series of formulation factories, R&D laboratories, ingredient formulation testing centres and supply chain support, and you have a company the life sciences and performance materials industries rely on.

With state-of-the-art facilities in Europe, North America and Asia, Barentz has a long-running history of strong financial performance and a proven track record of executing and integrating acquisitions. The growth of the food and life sciences market, a shift towards more natural ingredients and an increased demand for customised formulations, have also contributed to the company’s successes. Our experience in the speciality ingredients sector means we’re well placed to help Barentz enter its next phase of growth. Through investment in its R&D capabilities, we’re helping the company target significant buy-and-build opportunities in more fragmented markets and territories, as well as accelerating growth by investing in the group’s infrastructure.
