Therefore, as of 1 June 2023, we are excited to announce that we will be transferring the distributorship for Oterra products from DKSH Australia Pty Ltd to Brenntag Australia Pty Ltd.

Brenntag is our key distribution partner in many countries in the APAC region with the countries of Vietnam; Thailand; Singapore; India and Bangladesh.

Brenntag Australia is a subsidiary of Brenntag SE, the global market leader in chemical and ingredients distribution and has been operating in the Australian market since 2008. With a locally based team covering sales, customer service, warehousing, technical and QA, Brenntag can provide innovative services such as product prototype development, customized formulation support and technical solutions.

“This strategic partnership brings a wealth of combined experience and expertise to the table, bolstering our presence in Australia and meeting the growing demand for natural and clean-label ingredients. We are confident in providing unmatched value and support to our customers in Australia with this collaboration,” said Sue Song, Head of Commercial for Asia Pacific at Oterra.

Adam Dundas, Global Head of Customer, Sales, and Distributor Excellence added, “Partnering with Brenntag in Australia is a great outcome. Brenntag’s deep understanding of the local market, coupled with their team’s technical expertise on value added ingredients will perfectly complement our natural color portfolio.”

“We are proud to be appointed as the exclusive distributor in Australia for Oterra. With Brenntag’s local team covering sales, customer service, technical support, and warehousing, we can provide customers with innovative and technical solutions such as product prototype development and customized formulation for food and beverage applications utilizing Oterra’s natural, safe, and sustainable coloring solutions,” said Michele McNamara, Head of Australia and New Zealand for Brenntag Nutrition Asia Pacific.

Oterra will ensure that the transition between DKSH and Brenntag takes place efficiently and will not adversely affect any of our customers on-going and future color requirements.
