8 September 2025: Natara Global, an independent global manufacturer of flavour and fragrance ingredients, today announced that is has reached an agreement with the Board of Directors at Treatt plc, a leading manufacturer and supplier of natural extracts and ingredients, on the terms of an all-cash acquisition of the entire issued, and to be issued, ordinary share capital of Treatt.
The transaction will bring together two highly complementary businesses to create a leading global ingredients platform in the Flavour and Fragrance (F&F) sector, leveraging Natara’s expertise in specialty base aromas and Treatt’s long-standing capabilities in high-value natural ingredients. Together, they will be able to accelerate innovative solutions and provide customers with a broader product portfolio across key markets. The transaction will offer significant strategic and operational benefits, such as a global salesforce and state of the art facilities to capitalise on opportunities not readily available to either company on a standalone basis.
Natara was acquired by Exponent, a leading UK and European private equity firm, in 2023. Since the acquisition, Exponent has accelerated Natara’s growth through significant investment in strengthening customer partnerships, its manufacturing and service capabilities and backing a high-performing leadership team.
Commenting on the Acquisition, Yoram Knoop, Chief Executive Officer of Natara Global, said: “With the support of Exponent, Natara has been investing for growth since 2023. By combining with Treatt, we will be strongly positioned to continue our growth journey. The combination of Natara and Treatt will bring together two complementary businesses, expanding our product portfolio, accelerating our capability in innovation and delivering an enhanced customer proposition globally. The combination also will create more opportunities for each companies’ teams, with greater capacity for collaboration and investment in talent. Together, we can unlock the long-term growth within Treatt’s business by providing the required investment, additional operational expertise, and flexibility that comes with private ownership. We are excited by the combination and the opportunities we believe it presents to our employees, customers and other key stakeholders.”
