嘉吉宣布计划收购Delacon

今天Cargillannounced it has signed a binding agreement to acquireDelacon，领先的专家基于植物的植物添加剂, citing growing consumer and feed producer interest in plant-based feed additives as one of the motivations for the purchase.

“After asuccessful five-year partnership, Cargill and Delacon will build upon their combined deep history and long-term commitment to scientifically driven, sustainable customer solutions focused on animal health, feed efficiency and performance,” said Adriano Marcon, president of Cargill’s animal nutrition business.

“我们很高兴用科学预先的添加剂扩大我们的动物营养产品。”

The acquisition combines Cargill’s global network and expertise in animal nutrition technologies with Delacon’s pioneering knowledge and market experience in phytogenic feed additives, a category that uses a broad range of herbs, plants and their extracts, such as essential oils, to improve livestock and aquaculture performance and promote animal health.

The deal is expected to close mid-2022, subject to customary closing conditions. The terms have not been disclosed.

The acquisition will grow the global presence and distribution of both organizations, adding nearly 150 employees to Cargill’s health technologies business, spanning more than 25 countries around the world.

收购后，奥地利Engerwitzdorf的Delacon枢纽将仍然是“植物生成饲料添加剂中心”。

Delacon’s decades of phytogenic expertise

Phytogenics are standardized, specific and science-based combinations of bioactive compounds found in plants. The term phytogenic feed additive was coined by Delacon’s founders in the 1980s.

“It is my responsibility to assure the frame for Delacon’s future growth, developing our ability to thrive, and taking phytogenic expertise to the next level,” said Markus Dedl, Delacon’s chief executive officer.

他说：“此次收购将扩大Delacon的未来创新范围，并在全球范围内使植物学饲料添加剂更加可用。”“嘉吉和德拉肯一起将加速创新的步伐，并推动战略性的长期增长。”
