Marubeni Corporation (hereinafter, “Marubeni”) has announced the complete acquisition of Euroma Holding B.V. (hereinafter, "Euroma”), a major European spices and seasonings manufacturer based in the Netherlands, as of December 8, 2023 (hereinafter, “Acquisition”).

Despite recent economic challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and inflation, the spices and seasonings market remains essential, showing steady growth due to increasing health consciousness among consumers and trends towards using natural ingredients and reducing salt intake. The market is expected to continue growing at an annual rate of 5–6%.

Euroma is the third largest manufacturer of spices and seasonings in Europe and has over 120 years of experience across the entire supply chain, from farm to table. Taking natural ingredients as their starting point, Euroma uses its extensive knowledge of food technology and applications to develop superior flavors and textures across a wide range of food categories and sells to major global food manufacturers in over 60 countries. The new state-of-the-art R&D center and production facility in Zwolle serves as a solid foundation for the company’s further growth, delivering high-quality, cost-competitive products and innovative natural flavor solutions.

The Acquisition is Marubeni’s second major investment in the life sciences field*1, following Orffa International Holding B.V.*2 in the Netherlands, which is the one of Europe's largest feed additive distributors in Europe.

Marubeni will continue to expand Euroma's business, mainly in Europe, through various means of support, including leveraging its networks in the food and agricultural fields.
