Kenji Asakura, president and CEO of Nagase Group, said: "The addition of Prinova's expertise, unique positioning, and portfolio offering enables us to expand our food and nutrition ingredients value chain in North America, Europe and also in Asia."  
Currently, Nagase owns more than 100 group companies around the world — manufacturing and distributing various products such as resins, functional polymers, plastic products, electronic materials, functional food and pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates. 
"Prinova is among the world's largest distributors and providers of functional ingredients and integrated nutritional solutions to food, beverage and wellness brands but we have always had a broader vision — to make a larger global impact by helping our customers grow their brands and improve their customers' quality of life," said Don Thorp, president of Prinova USA. "As we discussed a possible combination with Nagase, we quickly realised that its global infrastructure, desire to increase its footprint in the food and nutritional ingredients space, and above all else, its commitment to the highest standards of quality and safety, made this an ideal opportunity for our company to realize its vision."
