Ingredients distributor Barentz Europe is opening a new office in Riga, Latvia, in a bid to grow its business in the Baltic states and Eastern Europe.

The new office – the 18th established by the company, will serve Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia directly. In the past this region had been served out of Poland.

 

Barentz says it is driving “for pan-European coverage, and is now virtually active in any European country”. Its main customers are in the food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, chemical animal feed sectors.

 

It claims to have seen year-on-year growth of 15 per cent for the last five years.
