We are pleased to congratulate Nactarome and Ambienta on the successful acquisition of TasteConnection. Nactarome Group (“Nactarome”), backed by the sustainability-focused European PE investor Ambienta SGR SpA, has acquired TasteConnection, a UK-based manufacturer of tailored and customised flavouring solutions in seasonings, provenanced ingredients blends, flavours and culinary products.

The acquisition of TasteConnection solidifies the position of Nactarome as a leading European mid-market player in the natural colours, flavours and ingredients sector. With the support of Ambienta, Nactarome has grown its revenues in excess of €120m, spread its manufacturing footprint to twelve specialised plants in Italy, the UK, France and Belgium, and built a diversified customer base of over 4,200 clients served across more than 100 countries. Nactarome has a comprehensive product offering across natural flavours, colours and ingredients. The acquisition of TasteConnection will strengthen Nactarome’s brand and competitive positioning in the UK market.
