今日のトピックは、香料業界のニュース:

Firmenich to Acquire Danisco Flavors

香料世界大手のフィルメニッヒ(スイス)が、天然フレーバーで有名なダニスコ社(デンマーク)フレーバー部門買収したそうです。正確には買収契約に調印とのこと。

このニュースは香料業界ではインパクトがあります。ランキング的にはフィルメニッヒ社が世界トップ2へと浮上します。

しかし、それよりも世界の香料メジャーが天然志向へと加速しているというトレンドを読み取る関係者が多いかも?

一方、日本の香料会社といえば、香料メジャーたちの大荒れM&Aの嵐から完全に取り残されているのか、あるいは無関心を装っているのか動く気配がありません。

なお、ダニスコ社は日本でも活動しています

Firmenich to Acquire Danisco Flavors - Geneva, Switzerland, May 3, 2007 - Firmenich, the world's largest privately-owned fragrance and flavor company, is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement to acquire Danisco's Flavor Division, which specializes in natural and nature-identical ingredients for the food, beverage and fragrance industries. Annual sales of the Danisco Flavor Division represent DKK 1.5 billion (around CHF 335 million), and the acquisition price is DKK 3.36 billion (around CHF 730 million). At the same time, Firmenich and Danisco are entering an exclusive partnership that brings together the best in taste and texture to deliver comprehensive flavor and food ingredient solutions to targeted segments of the market. Firmenich will also be creating an innovation centre in the south of France, specifically designed to further develop its expertise in natural fragrance and flavor extracts. The closing of the transaction is expected to be complete by the end of June 2007. The partnership with Danisco will be rolled out gradually during the months following the closure of the deal. The pending acquisition of Danisco Flavors by Firmenich is expected to move Firmenich into a virtual tie with IFF as the No. 2 sales leader.
