Döhler, a global producer, marketer and provider of technology-driven natural ingredients, ingredient systems and integrated solutions has recently announced the acquisition of Boon Flavors, a renowned premium flavour house based in Bangkok, Thailand. As part of this acquisition, Boon Flavors will be later known as Döhler Thailand but will continue to be managed by its Founder, Piya Boonnamkitsawad.
In 2018, Boon built a state-of-the-art flavour plant in Bangkok. Leveraging on its proprietary technologies, the company has developed a great variety of local and regional flavour tonalities that perfectly extends Döhler’s global taste portfolio. Boon will have access to all of Döhler’s cutting-edge taste technologies and, together with Döhler’s application labs in Indonesia and Thailand, global and local customers can expect to benefit from enhanced services and a more extensive product portfolio in the region.
Consumers are looking for exceptional sensory experiences in nutrition; superior taste, a perfect appearance and well-balanced mouthfeel which play a significant role for them when choosing their products, ultimately guiding their preferences towards a better human nutrition.
Boon’s premium variety of local flavours, now integrated into Döhler’s global taste portfolio, contributes perfectly to this trend providing superior natural flavours to the food, beverage and life sciences & nutrition industry. This strategic acquisition further strengthens Döhler’s commitment to meeting the evolving needs of customers and consumers for excellent and remarkable tasty, healthy and sustainable solutions.
Boonnamkitsawad said, “Teaming up with Döhler, we are looking forward to enhance our customer-oriented culture, foster long-term customer relationships, expand and strengthen our presence in the Southeast Asia market and continue delivering top-quality products while effectively supporting customers´ demand for more sustainability.”
The acquisition will also strengthen Döhler’s position as a provider of premium dairy ingredients in a regional market which is ripe for further innovations. Some examples include development of dairy and dairy alternative products infused with local dessert flavors of mango, durian or coconut etc which are gaining popularity in Thailand and the rest of ASEAN.
Boon’s flavours are derived from regional natural raw materials and agricultural products. It also collaborates with leading local universities like Kasetsart and Mahidol Universities to conduct cutting-edge research and development projects based on bio-innovation technologies, sensory analysis, and culinary art design technologies, to create value for its customers.
