Redbrook’s main activity is the development, production and marketing of innovative specialty savory taste solutions, which includes seasoning and functional blends, marinades, glazes, cures and specialty ingredients for food processors. The irish company’s sales for the 12 months ending June 2016 was $ 25.4 million (€22.7 million). In the last three years Redbrook has enjoyed double digit growth.

Redbrook CEO Kieran Fox will continue in his role and will join Frutarom’s Flavors activity management.

Frutarom president and CEO Ori Yehudai said, “This is an important acquisition in establishing Frutarom’s standing as one of the world’s largest and leading companies for flavors, and strengthens its presence and position as a top global producer of natural, healthy and innovative savory taste solutions. The acquisition reinforces our market leadership in the UK and constitutes Frutarom’s first entry into the Irish market, also giving us the advantages of a global manufacturer having a local R&D, production and sales platform for shortening delivery times and improving service to customers of the region.”
