Döhler has entered an agreement to acquire a significant stake in Spanish juice producer Zumos Catalano Aragoneses (Zucasa).

As per the agreement, Döhler will manage Zucasa’s production facility in the Huesca region through its subsidiary Döhler Fraga. This Spanish juice plant is one of the largest in Europe and its acquisition will enable Döhler to offer new products to its customers in the stone fruits, apples and pears segments.

The combination of Zucasa’s expertise and ability to produce fruit and vegetable juices with Döhler Group’s industry knowledge is expected to create new synergy.

“Döhler will manage Zucasa’s production facility in the Huesca region through its subsidiary Döhler Fraga.”

Döhler Group intends to develop an expansion plan and sustainable growth within its business model.

Headquartered in Darmstadt, Germany, Döhler is currently active in more than 130 countries with its product portfolio of natural flavours, colours, health ingredients, pulses and cereal ingredients.

It operates more than 40 production sites and has sales and application centres on every continent supporting more than 6,000 employees.

Last October, Döhler Group entered a strategic partnership with Nutrafood, which is engaged in the production of plant-based foods and beverages.
