As Frank Bergonzi, CEO and President, Azelis Americas said in December:
“We have been impressed by the business model and the strong management team at Megafarma. They are financially solid and have shown a very strong track record over the years, with double-digit sales growth between 2016 and 2018. 2 Like Azelis, they are highly focused on specialties. Our expectation is to expand the strategic supplier relationships we have in the US and Canada in the food and pharma segments. Through the acquisition of Megafarma, Azelis Americas will increase its life sciences footprint and will have the platform to bring other Azelis key market segments into Mexico, such as plastics, foam, CASE, personal care, and homecare & industrial cleaning. We are excited to have the Megafarma employees join the Azelis Americas family, with the team and all operations remaining in place.”
