Edlong has announced the strategic acquisition of Brisan Group, a US-based firm that serves the dairy flavour and sweet flavour markets.

Established almost three decades ago, Brisan’s portfolio of flavour solutions spans from cheese and natural dairy concentrates to essential oils, brined vegetables, tomato powder and caramel.

The acquisition will bring Brisan’s expertise in ingredient and consumer research and innovation processes to Edlong.

Michael Natale, Edlong’s president, said: “Our aligned vision at Edlong, ‘to empower the food and beverage industry to unleash the taste of dairy,’ makes our acquisition of Brisan Group a key strategic step towards delivering the next generation of dairy taste technologies”.

Brisan Group’s CEO Brian Vogt commented: “I’ve spent the last 27 years building Brisan Group, with a strategic focus on dairy and sweet flavours, so it is very exciting for me to see us join an industry leader as well respected and prestigious as Edlong. Edlong... [drives] unprecedented value in the development of next generation flavour technologies for food and beverage manufacturers across the globe. Its exclusive focus on dairy taste and ability to deliver cutting edge solutions for dairy and dairy-free food and beverage products makes Brisan the perfect strategic fit as it continues to grow.”

Brisan’s CEO Vogt will join Edlong’s executive leadership team, as vice president for business development, US and Canada.

The acquisition is set to close on 4 November 2024 – financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
