20 years after establishing and developing a fully traceable production of organic vanilla and spices, Parapharma has decided to join the Bontoux Group on October 10th 2017.
Alexandre Dramissiotis, founder of Parapharma will head up all Bontoux operations in Madagascar.
Its 20 year history will be instrumental in ensuring adequate plantations and botanical resources for the growing needs of Bontoux customers around the world. Bontoux has been present in Madagascar since 2001 when it created Bontoux Océan Indien, growing and distilling numerous essential oils.
Bontoux Océan Indien and Parapharma have built a strong and reliable business relationship by offering a complementary product range, especially organic products such as vanilla, clove and niaouli.
Remy Bontoux, CEO, states: “We are pleased and proud to be investing further in Madagascar and the Malagasy people with our expertise in manufacturing and our close relationship with local farmers. We are excited about our future capabilities to bring more products to market.”
“This investment will increase our production capacities to serve our clients even better and to expand our product range, in particular vanilla, cinnamon, black pepper, geranium, vetiver and clove”, says Nicolas Hervé, Business Development Manager at Bontoux.
Parapharma founder Alexandre Dramissiotis, shares our strategic vision, expertise and belief that partnering with local farmers, ensuring expertise and knowledge is passed down through generations, will ensure our values with respect to the environment, the people, and qualities will be maintained. Bontoux has now started a new chapter in its history and looks forward to the next 100 years.
