<\/span>The multinational AgroFresh acquires the 75% from Tecnidex.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n

AgroFresh<\/span><\/span><\/a>the world leader in post-harvest treatments for the horticultural sector and listed on the New York Stock Exchange, has announced the acquisition of the 75% from Tecnidex.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tecnidex<\/span><\/span><\/a> is a Spanish company based in Paterna (Valencia) dedicated to the development of fruit and vegetable health products and services, with an outstanding reputation and a long track record of success in the citrus market. Its portfolio of fungicides, waxes and biocides are complementary to AgroFresh's existing post-harvest business, and significantly accelerates its current diversification strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n

The operation allows Tecnidex to benefit from AgroFresh's technologies, products, research and global distribution, as well as accelerating the geographical growth process they have just begun.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Valencian company has a strong international presence, with its own companies in Morocco, Turkey, South Africa, Italy, Greece and Peru, and had a turnover of around \u20ac14m in 2016. Meanwhile, AgroFresh, based in Philadelphia, had a turnover of around \u20ac160M in the same period.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>AB-Biotics sells AB-Fortis to Israel's Frutarom<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n

The Catalan biotech company AB-Biotics<\/span><\/span><\/a>listed on the Alternative Stock Market (MAB), has announced the sale of its product AB-Fortis with the Israeli biotech group Frutrarom. AB-Fortis is a patented micro-encapsulation system that provides the full recommended daily amount of iron in a single dose without the metallic taste and classic side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n

AB-Biotics' divestment of this dietary supplement is part of its strategy to focus on the development and distribution of clinically documented probiotics. For Frutarom, however, the acquisition of AB-Fortis is a further step in its growth strategy in dietary supplements, speciality food ingredients, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Frutarom<\/span><\/span> is one of the world's leading flavours and ingredients groups with 60,000 products and around 30,000 customers in 150 countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

AB-Biotics, founded in 2004 by Sergi Audivert and Miquel \u00c1ngel Bonachera and based in Sant Cugat del Vall\u00e9s (Barcelona), is a biotech listed on the MAB since 2010. The Catalan company posted losses in the first half of this year amounting to \u20ac769,000, which represents 83% less than in the same period of 2016. In addition, its turnover rose by 71% to \u20ac3.39M.<\/span><\/p>\n
