Azelis, a supplier of specialty chemicals and food ingredients, has opened a new food laboratory in Cairo, Egypt, with the goal of providing innovative and technical support to customers in the Middle East and Africa region.
Aside from facilitating efficient service delivery, the cutting-edge laboratory will host regular seminars and training sessions for its customers. While fully equipped to serve various food segments, the new laboratory will primarily focus on dairy and beverages, providing new value-added formulations to the region.
"We are delighted to have this new application laboratory in Egypt, which will focus on dairy and beverages." "The lab is outfitted with cutting-edge technology to best serve our customers." "We will use our lateral value chain and skilled technical staff to bring new, innovative formulations to market," said Mattar Mattar, Country Manager for Azelis Egypt.
The new facility complements the many other Azelis Food & Nutrition laboratories located throughout the EMEA region and around the world, adding to the company's innovation capabilities and supporting the company's constant drive for discovery and sustainability.
Azelis' presence and investments in the MEA region continue to expand, and we're excited to have this new cutting-edge facility to improve and optimize our formulations. "This lab complements our other Food & Nutrition laboratories in the region and allows us to better serve our customers," said Patrick Finan, Azelis Food & Nutrition Market Segment Director, MEA.
Azelis is constantly working on innovative projects with customers and suppliers through its global network of over 60 application labs, each dedicated to a specific market segment. The innovative service provider recently agreed to buy a majority stake in Ashapura Aromas Private Limited, a leading distributor of ingredients in India's flavours and fragrances market.
Following its 2021 acquisitions of Vigon in the United States and Quimdis in France, which serve the Americas and EMEA regions, Azelis now has a strong F&F platform in Asia Pacific, forming a global F&F network.
