This corporate acquisition integrates Alzo International, a company established in 1975, known for its extensive range of ingredients for the global cosmetic and personal care industries. The transaction represents a direct purchase of Alzo International by Holiferm.
Alzo International has built a reputation as a leading global supplier of specialty ingredients used in skin, beauty, hair, and sun formulations.
