The addition will further build the company’s citrus flavors capabilities.
Chicago-based Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) announced that it reached an agreement to acquire the Ziegler Group, a European provider of natural citrus flavor ingredients. The agreement comes shortly after ADM completed its acquisition of Winter Haven, Fla.-based citrus flavor provider Florida Chemical Co.
“Ziegler is highly respected as a cutting-edge leader in citrus, and we’re excited to welcome their outstanding leadership and talent to ADM,” said Vince Macciocchi, president of ADM’s Nutrition business. “The combination of Ziegler and Florida Chemical will immediately position ADM for growth as a global leader in natural citrus ingredients, with a complete range of innovative citrus solutions and systems for food, beverage and fragrance customers.”
