Cormart Nigeria Limited, a chemical and food raw materials company, has made partnership arrangements with Kerry, manufacturer of food flavours and ingredients for the local production of flavours.
It’s Managing Director Martin Middernacht, said the partnership will enable the production of locally made quality flavours.
General Manager Dr. Johannes Flosbach, said: “This is timely in view of the recently ratified African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). We will not only produce for Nigeria, but also for neighbouring markets. This project helps Nigeria become a regional manufacturing hub, and our commitment to the Nigerian market is to ensure that we expand our local manufacturing capabilities.”
Business Unit Head Felicia Onabanjo, said the partnership will reduce the cost of importing raw materials, which is an economic boost for beverage, distillery, and confectionary industries.
Sales Director, Kerry Taste and Nutrition, Robin Oort, said: “We are happy that we can bring this partnership to a new level through our new manufacturing contract.”
