We are delighted to
announce that our culture and enzyme supplier Clerici-Sacco has acquired all of
CSL’s culture business. CSL is
recognised for its competencies in thermophilic cultures for dairy applications
such as fermented milks and Italian cheese types.
“The Clerici-Sacco
group is ranked as one of the foremost players in starter culture development
and production and with this acquisition will be number 3 in the world in the
field of thermphilic cultures” says Per Pedersen, Business Development Director
at Clerici Sacco.
Furthermore CSL has a
valuable collection of probiotic strains and a GMP Pharmaceutical approved
facility. This will allow Clerici-Sacco
to further advance one of its strategic ambitions to further penetrate the global
pharmaceutical/nutraceutical sectors.
Synergistic effects
will also come through merging and simplifying the two culture portfolios into
one. “Naturally there will be benefits by changing over to the most optimised
production conditions from either company” says Martino Verga, CSO. The new integrated business will bring
together two skilled and experienced teams and will increase the professional
and technical resources and capabilities at all levels resulting in an increase
in innovation and technical support.
Shamrock Food
Ingredients Pty Ltd Australia has been Clerici-Sacco’s exclusive distributor in
Australia for six years and latterly in conjunction with Curds & Whey in
New Zealand. For more information about
