Barentz celebrates award at the 10th edition of the BIS – Best Ingredients Suppliers Award

São Paulo, April 9, 2026 – Barentz, a global distributor of specialty ingredient solutions, was recognized in the latest edition of the BIS – Best Ingredients Suppliers Award, a major recognition in the food and beverage ingredients sector in Brazil. Organized by Aditivos | Ingredientes magazine, the award brings together some of the most renowned professionals in the Latin American ingredients industry in one of the sector’s most traditional ceremonies. 

The recognition reinforces Barentz’s positioning in the Brazilian market and the consolidation of its brand within the ingredients sector. Marcos Almeida, Head of Human Nutrition Commercial for South America at Barentz, highlights that the award gains even greater relevance given the competitiveness of the segment. “Receiving the BIS Award is very important for Barentz, as it is considered one of the main recognitions in the ingredients industry in Brazil. In a globalized and dynamic market, this recognition reinforces our ability to innovate, create value and meet market demands with quality and reliability.” 

According to Almeida, the role of ingredients is crucial to the performance of final products developed by the industry. “Choosing the right ingredients directly impacts characteristics such as taste, texture, stability and shelf life. A well-structured technical solution ensures that the final product delivers the sensory experience expected by consumers, strengthening brand trust and contributing to customer loyalty.” 

In recent years, innovation has played a central role in the evolution of Barentz’s portfolio. The company has directed its investments toward solutions aligned with key consumer trends such as clean label, sugar, fat and sodium reduction, as well as plant-based alternatives and ingredients with functional and nutritional appeal. This approach strengthens an increasingly strategic portfolio focused on high value-added solutions. 

Marcos also highlights that Barentz’s competitive advantage lies in the combination of applied technical expertise, close customer relationships and access to a robust global portfolio. “More than distributing ingredients, our role is to act as a strategic partner in the development of solutions. We work to anticipate trends, support our customers in innovation and deliver efficiency at every stage of the process.” 

The BIS Award reinforces Barentz’s commitment to continue investing in innovation and strengthening strategic partnerships with major global players, expanding access to technologies and ingredients that drive the development of increasingly relevant solutions for the food and beverage industry in the region.
