Muttenz, November 26, 2015 - Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals,
has closed its transaction to acquire a 30% share in Beraca Ingredientes
Naturais S.A. ("Beraca"), which assumed the Health & Personal Care Business of
Sabará Químicos e Ingredientes S.A. Beraca is a leading player in natural,
sustainable and innovative ingredients. Financial details of the acquisition are
not being disclosed.
The two companies announced their intention to form a strategic partnership in
January 2015. The deal was completed today and includes the possibility of major
participation by Clariant in the future.
Beraca, prior to the partial acquisition by Clariant a family-owned business,
will remain an independently managed company. It will continue to market its
world-wide known product portfolio of active performance systems, fixed and
essential oils, clays and butters sustainably harvested from Brazilian biomes.
Christian Vang, Head of Business Unit Industrial & Consumer Specialties at
Clariant, commented: "The alliance now created between key players in the
Personal Care sector will build a partnership to deliver environmentally-
compatible solutions, combining expertise on the sustainable use of biodiversity
and state of the art formulation technology. Customers and end-consumers across
the world will have access to a larger range of solutions. Besides meeting known
demand for natural ingredients we see exciting opportunities to grow this
business in geographies such as Africa and Asia."
"This partnership with Clariant is a key step of Beraca's sustainable growth and
expansion plan. We foresee great innovation synergies that will culminate in
creating more value to our main stakeholders, especially our customers and our
partner sourcing communities. With this joint-venture, Beraca envisions its
sustainable development cause in an even broader and meaningful magnitude",
added Daniel Sabará, CEO of Beraca.
