“The acquisition offers significant benefits to our customers throughout the food, beverage, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries,” commented Roderick Sowders, president and CEO of Synergy. “Vanlab’s extensive range of vanilla products, including organic vanilla, is backed by nearly 100 years experience in the market. Vanlab also offers an excellent range of flavours that both complement and extend our overall offer to the market.”
 
Through the acquisition of Vanlab, Synergy will gain new technologies and widen its customer base, the company said. Although the company will actively seek improvements in efficiencies to better service the customers, business operations at the two locations will remain intact, Synergy added.
