Berkem Group signs UK partnership with Kreglinger

Groupe Berkem, a leading player in plant-based chemistry, has signed a distribution agreement with Kreglinger, a major player in the distribution of specialty ingredients, for all its cosmetic ingredients destined for the UK market.

Groupe Berkem has chosen to partner with this recognized player to distribute its cosmetic ingredients in the UK, one of Europe's most important markets, to manufacturers keen to enhance the naturalness of their products. The Group thus continues to reinforce its strategy of international expansion for the distribution of its products.
 
Éric Moussu, Sales Director of Groupe Berkem, comments: " With this new agreement, Groupe Berkem continues and reinforces its strategy of internationalizing its solutions for the cosmetics market. The UK is one of the three main markets for this industry in Europe, and we are proud to partner with a group such as Kreglinger to distribute our ingredients there. We are convinced that the experience and expertise acquired by Kreglinger will enable us to increase our market share in this very buoyant territory.. "
 
Wim Arnouts, CEO of Kreglinger, adds: " We are delighted to be able to offer our British customers Groupe Berkem's range of plant-based ingredients. This should arouse great interest among manufacturers in the cosmetics sector, who are constantly on the lookout for innovation and are more than ever keen to benefit from the virtues of biobased products..
