Natural aroma ingredients supplier Axxence Aromatic and Natural Advantage, a US manufacturer of natural and kosher flavors, have signed an agreement to merge. The move is expected to improve Axxence’s market reach and portfolio in the F&B and fragrance sectors. The German wholesaler aims to strengthen its presence in the US market by adding a local production site and an improved distribution network. This will allow it to gain access to new markets, including Latin America.
