The acquisition in June 2021 was a decisive step for Brenntag's expansion strategy in the North American Nutrition industry as the combined businesses now form the leading food ingredients distributor in the North American market. In this interview, Larry Davis, President Nutrition Americas at Brenntag speaks about the advantages of this acquisition and explains the created unique value proposition and how customers from the USA, but also Canada and Mexico, will benefit from the combined offering. Larry, please explain why this acquisition is so important for Brenntag. Larry Davis: We've spent a lot of time over the last four years building out our Nutrition business. In the past, we've sold into the Nutrition industry, but were only viewed as a logistics company selling commodities. Now, we can help with formulations and new product development, and be proactive in addressing market trends. We have the largest functional and specialties portfolio and now our customers are recognizing we are not just a commodities company, we are much more.
