The Berkem Group, a leading player in plant-based chemistry, announced today the extension of its distribution agreement with Unipex, one of the leading distributors of specialties, for the Benelux and French-speaking Switzerland territories for all its ingredients intended for the cosmetics and personal care market.
Recently acquired by Barentz, one of the world's leading distributors of specialty products, which already distributes the Berkem Group's products in North America and certain European territories, Unipex is present in many markets such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and nutraceuticals.
Developing for its "Health, Beauty & Nutrition" business unit a wide range of extracts of 100% plant origin selected for their effectiveness, the Berkem Group once again trusts Unipex to distribute its ingredients for the cosmetics and Personal Care market. Already a distributor of the Berkem Group's botanical extracts for France, Unipex will distribute to the Benelux and French-speaking Switzerland territories, thanks to its sales force combined with its Technical Marketing department.
Unipex will make the Berkem Group's range of cosmetic ingredients available to customers in this area.
Eric Moussu, Berkem Group Sales Director, said: " This new agreement with Unipex follows the one we signed together in 2022 for the distribution of our solutions dedicated to the "Health, Beauty & Nutrition" business line on French territory. We are thus pursuing our internationalization strategy alongside a recognized player in the distribution of specialty ingredients that has already proven itself in our domestic market. It is on the basis of this solid partnership that we intend to meet the demand of cosmetics manufacturers wishing to increase the naturalness of their products while preserving their effectiveness. "
Valérie Leploutel, Sales Director Western Europe - Cosmetics Department at Unipex, adds: " We are delighted to count Berkem among our strategic partners. Berkem Group's solutions and values are a natural fit with our own. We are very excited to be able to expand our collaboration by offering these scientific and innovative solutions, which I am sure will meet the needs of the market in these two territories ".
