Azelis, a leading innovation service provider in the specialty chemicals and food ingredients industry, is pleased to announce a new distribution agreement with Soy Austria, a leading manufacturer of natural, sustainable, soy-based ingredients for the food industry. After a successful start in Central Europe in 2023, Azelis’ customers in Eastern European countries, the Nordics, the Balkans, and Türkiye can now access a wide range of the highest quality, non-GMO soy products. The agreement is effective immediately.

A well-established leader in the natural soy-based solutions market, Soy Austria has been producing soy-based ingredients since 1989. Pioneers in the industry, with a strong focus on natural and sustainable solutions, this collaboration aligns with Azelis’ strategy to grow its portfolio of plant-based, environmentally friendly ingredients. Their production complies with the highest European quality standards, exclusively using soybeans sourced from the EU. Their offerings include soy-based products in various forms, such as grits, flour, flakes, and textured soy protein, which cater to applications spanning bakery, confectionery, dairy-free, and savory foods.

René Skarnager, managing director at Soy Austria, comments, “We are delighted to share that our partnership with Azelis is expanding. This collaboration not only extends the reach of our high-quality products, but also fits perfectly with our shared commitment to sustainable development. The already proven technical and market knowledge of the Azelis team will enable us to continue to develop our business and reach new customers in Eastern Europe, the Nordics, the Balkans, and Türkiye.”

Andrey Zhukov, market segment director Food & Nutrition EMEA at Azelis, adds, “The extension of this mandate is testament to our excellent collaboration with Soy Austria over the past months. Our collaboration has delivered great results in Central Europe, and we are now proud to bring the expertise of our laboratory experts and sales teams to these new countries. Customers’ demand for the products offered by Soy Austria is strong, and we look forward to introducing them to our innovative solutions.”
