Azelis and CP Kelco partner in Indonesia

Azelis and CP Kelco expand their distribution partnership to include Indonesia for their carrageenan, pectin, gellan gum and xanthan gum products, effective 1 April 2018.

Richard Yin, VP Asia Pacific CP Kelco, states: “Our partnership with Azelis has been very successful in other regions and, paired with their knowledge and expertise of the Food Segment, we are confident that this will be a good next step in that partnership. Although Azelis’ Food & Health team in Indonesia is a young one, the company has established solid business plans and demonstrated eagerness to grow our Food Segment business in Indonesia. Azelis is well positioned to increase market penetration and we look forward to growing this partnership further together.”

Laurent Nataf, CEO & President Asia Pacific, Azelis adds: “We are thrilled with the continued expansion of our strategic partnership with CP Kelco. We have demonstrated solid growth in both the food & health segment in general and Asia Pacific in particular. We have built a Food & Health team in Indonesia comprised of experts with diverse backgrounds, mainly with multinational company experience and excellent knowledge of the local market. This has been a proven recipe for Azelis that brings differentiation to our principals and customers alike. Our track record, transparency and continued growth instil confidence in our partners to collaborate with us in new territories.”

Azelis has significantly grown in Asia Pacific during the last five years, establishing presence in 10 countries and opening 18 offices and 16 laboratories. In November 2017, the company acquired Chemcolour, a leading distributor in Australia and New Zealand, which considerably enlarged Azelis’ footprint in those two countries.
