The specialist in plant ingredients has just bought IFF Pharma Solutions, valued at $2.8 billion. Roquette has until now carried out 80% of its activity in the agri-food industry.
The acquisition rebalances activity in favor of a sector three times more profitable and with “ exceptional growth prospects ” : pharmacy. This last area will now account for 40% of the group’s 5 billion euros in turnover, or double its current weight.
