In response to growing demand in Latin America for natural ingredients, Naturex is strengthening its position in the region with the opening of a sales office in Santiago, Chile. The creation of this subsidiary follows the acquisition in January 2014 of Chile Botanics and its factory in Linares.

The Chilean branch provides current and future customers with the full product portfolio and the latest innovations from Naturex, combined with exceptional local service.

Guillaume Levade, Sales Director – Latin America is heading the sales office, which will support the development of three strategic markets: food & beverage, dietary supplements & pharmaceuticals, as well as cosmetics. “We think there is an exceptional opportunity for Naturex to grow our business in this country and facilitate the development of our presence in neighboring countries,” said Levade.

The Latin American market remains a top priority for Naturex and the company continues to invest in the area in order strengthen ties to its customers. The group operates three sales offices and two factories in the region.
