DDW Strengthens European Operations With KleurCraft Color Buy
25 Nov 2015 --- US-based natural color house DDW, The Color House, has acquired the KleurCraft portfolio of coloring foods, custom formulations and related technology from SVZ International B.V.
Coloring foods are produced from fruits, vegetables and edible plants without the use of selective extraction and have no E-number requirement in the European Union. A sourcing agreement will align SVZ’s expertise in agronomy, fruit & vegetable cultivation, and juice processing with DDW’s color proficiency, applications competence, and sales channels.
“The addition builds on DDW’s global supply capability and broadens the range of both simple and custom color solutions for customers,” said Ted Nixon, chairman and CEO of DDW.
2015 is the company’s 150th anniversary year, which it marked in April with the opening of a new natural color manufacturing site in Ireland and in October it announced the opening of a new specialty color site in Louisville, US.
