Döhler Group (Germany) and Passina Group (The Netherlands) have reached an agreement on the acquisition of Concentra Europe BV with its Dutch and German subsidiaries by Döhler Group. The proposed transaction has now been filed with the relevant antitrust authorities and is conditional upon their approval.

This transaction marks a step where customers will benefit from a more complete offering and improved efficiency of the combined businesses in a global market that is characterized by volatility, as well as the challenges and opportunities of supply and demand. Döhler Group and Passina Group stated that this step has created a path toward further growth in the market while simultaneously strengthening their respective positions, specifically as reliable suppliers of tropical and natural plant-based ingredients for the global food & beverage industry.

Concentra Holding AG, owner of the brand name Passina, will focus its future activities on its core business—the production and commercialization of passion fruit products, including passion fruit juices, concentrates and derivatives. It will place additional focus on the development of innovative new products and solutions.
