Clariant has closed its transaction to acquire a 30% share in Beraca Ingredientes Naturais, 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 in November 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 globally recognised product portfolio of active performance systems, fixed and essential oils, clays and butters sustainably harvested from Brazilian biomes.
