UK-based ingredients supplier Cambridge Commodities has acquired the ingredients business of Earth Circle Organics for an undisclosed sum, and will subsequently form a new US-based ingredients business called Earth Circle Ingredients.
Cambridge Commodities supplies ingredients to the sports nutrition, dietary supplement, health & wellness, and food industries, and the move will strengthen the company’s ingredient portfolio.
The new business will combine Cambridge Commodities’ US arm and Earth Circle Organics’ raw and organic superfood ingredient business, and will be based in Northern California.
Cambridge Commodities says that the deal will provide Earth Circle Ingredients with access to its supplier network as well as its nutritional product base, product development expertise and its technical teams.
Neil Hammill, commercial director of the Cambridge Commodities Group said: “We are delighted to welcome the talented team at Earth Circle into the Cambridge Commodities family.
“This venture brings a solid infrastructure to our business operations in the States.
“Under the Earth Circle Ingredients brand, we look forward to supplying customers with quality nutritional ingredients and healthier innovation to support well-being in the US and rest of the world.”
CEO of Earth Circle Ingredients Keith Bearden added: “Using Cambridge Commodities’ approved supply chain, we are increasing our stock lines, which means that we can provide exciting ingredients, great quality and product innovation to our customers.”
