Azelis boosts its nutraceutical offering in Spain with acquisition of Solchem Nature

Customers in Europe will have access to a broad portfolio of sustainable nutraceutical solutions after Azelis acquired Solchem.
Based in Barcelona, Solchem was founded in 1994 to distribute raw materials for the dietary sector. The company later expanded its portfolio to include a wide range of premium ingredients and formulations for the nutraceutical market.
With a team of 14 staff members, Solchem brings an extensive nutraceutical portfolio to the Iberian market. Backed by long-standing relationships with well-known principals in the industry, it is a valuable contribution to Azelis’s lateral value chain. Azelis believes the acquisition presents customers with new opportunities for growth and a wider range of products to innovate with.
Jose Manuel González, general manager at Solchem Nature, notes that joining forces with Azelis is not only an exciting growth opportunity for Solchem, but also a natural fit.
“We share a strong innovation-driven culture, rooted in a commitment to excellence towards our principals and customers,” he says. “We look forward to continuing our journey with Azelis to deliver the best solutions to our partners in the nutraceutical market.”
Javier Pérez, managing director at Azelis Iberia, adds: “We are excited to welcome Solchem to the Azelis team. Our combined capabilities significantly strengthen Azelis’s position in the highly attractive nutraceutical market. With common values and the same entrepreneurial and collaborative spirit, I’m convinced we will successfully continue to unlock the nutraceutical market’s untapped potential together.”
