Carbery set to expand into US after acquiring Ohio based manufacturer

FOOD group Carbery has acquired US natural essence and extract manufacturer Sensus in Hamilton, Ohio, for an undisclosed sum.

Carbery can now expand into new sectors of the US food market, while also creating synergies in rapidly growing sectors such as tea and coffee. Cork-based Carbery is an international food ingredients, flavours and cheese manufacturer, its highest profile brand being Dubliner cheese.

Carbery Group chief executive Dan MacSweeney said: “This furthers Carbery’s strategy of developing its position in the global flavours market. The acquisition of Sensus strengthens our capabilities and technologies in serving customers in the food, beverage and nutritional industries.”
