Sozio, the French fragrance house, has strengthened its presence in France with the acquisition of Scentessence, a fragrance manufacturer with strong business in the institutional and industrial market, especially in cleaning products.
 
Scentessence also has expertise in natural fragrances and a strong reputation due to its product quality, the efficiency of its creative process and its responsiveness on regulatory affairs.
 
Sozio and Scentessence are committed to listening to needs of their customers and focused on building strong and transparent partnerships.
 
“The acquisition of Scentessence is going to strengthen our presence in France in the cleaning market and enhance our natural fragrance expertise, which has been a focus for Sozio for several years. Moreover, we share common key values, putting our customers in the center of our attention,” said Frederic Braud, general manager at Sozio.
 
Scentessence’s production facilities in Saint Pol de Léon (29250 France) will be relocated to Sozio’s plant in Noyant (49490 France) at the end of the first quarter 2021. Because Sozio’s production center is located in the West of France, they do not expect any delays for any of Scentessence customers.
 
Jean Panis, director and owner of Scentessence has joined the Sozio sales team and will stay on site in Saint Pol de Léon. He will continue to take care of Scentessence customers as well as other Sozio customers.
