Royal DSM, a global purpose-led, science-based company active in Health, Nutrition & Bioscience, is pleased to announce a distribution partnership with Azelis, a leading innovation service provider in the specialty chemicals and food ingredients industry.

Effective 1st January, this mandate strengthens and expands Azelis Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare lateral value chain in India with DSM’s complete range of vitamins for use in pharmaceutical solutions.

With over 150 years of history, DSM specializes in sustainable solutions for human and animal health and nutrition. As the world’s largest vitamin producer, the company has developed an extensive portfolio that provides access to US and Japanese Drug Master Files (DMFs) and the Certificates of Suitability (CEPs) for all 13 vitamins.

This partnership builds on Azelis India’s existing relationship with DSM, which already includes the distribution of its market-leading enzymes and cultures portfolio for the food and beverage industry, and also allows Azelis to offer additional solutions in order to meet growing consumer demand.

Aparna Khurana, Managing Director, Azelis India said, “Demand in India is growing, especially post COVID-19, now that consumers are more focused and are placing greater importance on solutions that prevent illness and maintain health. DSM’s vitamins portfolio is an excellent addition to our offering, and when combined with our technical knowledge, we anticipate great business opportunities for growth with this new partnership with DSM.”

Anand Diwanji, South Asia Director - Human Nutrition and Care, DSM said, “We are pleased to extend our partnership with Azelis and provide our customers with the exceptional service to reliably support their entire product life cycle. DSM believes that more than the ingredients, it takes a partner to support the creation of the next generation of pharmaceutical products. With Azelis on board, we have created an ecosystem designed to help our customers benefit from the quality and highest sustainability credentials of our complete vitamins range and succeed in India.”
