Pinsent Masons advises on the purchase of Genosa

Pinsent Masons has advised Alvinesa Natural Ingredients on the purchase of Genosa.

This acquisition presents a unique opportunity for Alvinesa Natural Ingredients to further expand its range of ingredients and leverage synergies between the two companies to drive innovation and add customer value.

As part of the integration process, Alvinesa will explore ways to leverage Genosa’s expertise and technologies to enhance its existing product range.

Alvinesa Natural Ingredients is a leader in the “circular economy” of sustainable plant-based ingredients. Alvinesa reuses and transforms agricultural co-products from the wine industry into valuable natural ingredients for the food, beverage, animal health and nutraceutical industries. With a rich heritage and years of experience, Alvinesa has established itself as a trusted supplier of high quality natural ingredients to customers around the world.

Genosa stands out as a world leader and pioneer in the production and commercialization of natural super-recycled hydroxytyrosol (Hytolive®) derived from olive fruit. As a true pioneer, Genosa was the first company to introduce high purity natural hydroxytyrosol extracts derived from olive fruit.

The firms team has been formed by Antonio Sánchez Montero (partner), Olimpia Ortega (senior associate) and Alvaro Estrada (associate).
