Domori and Irca announce the acquisition of exclusive global rights for Domori Professional by IRCA.
IRCA, a leading international manufacturer of high-quality chocolate, creams, fruits, pistachios, decorations and other ingredients for the food industry, has acquired Domori Professional, obtaining exclusive rights to use the Domori brand in the B2B channel, thus being able to offer a full range of Domori-branded premium professional products. The agreement is effective as of July 1, 2024, and distribution will be fully launched as of January 1, 2025.
The addition of the Domori brand further elevates IRCA Group's premium product offering, and enriches the Group's brand portfolio, which also includes Dobla, known for premium chocolate decorations; Ravifruit, which offers high-quality fruit purees; and Cesarin, a specialist in candied and semi-candied fruits.
Annika Engelbrecht, Group CMO of IRCA, says, “We are delighted to welcome the Domori brand into the IRCA Group, as it is a perfect fit with our current product offering. Domori's B2B portfolio includes a wide range of premium chocolate products, coupled with deep expertise in cocoa processing-from cocoa bean to finished product-and optimal supply chain management. This acquisition adds a very high-end chocolate line to our portfolio. We look forward to expanding the reach of Domori products in the B2B channel.
Janluca de Waijer, CEO of Domori, comments, “Our mission is to get our brand to the heart of consumers thanks to our extraordinary quality, taking the raw material - cocoa - to places still unexplored by the chocolate industry. Partnering with IRCA Group will allow us to make our brand available globally to top industry professionals, creating numerous touch points for Domori.”
