Firmenich adds Agilex to perfume and fragrance portfolio

Firmenich has reached a deal to acquire Agilex Fragrances, a scented products manufacturer, from middle-market private equity firm MidOcean Partners.

Agilex designs “high-quality” fragrances used in a broad range of services, including: air care, personal care, home care, and cologne and perfume. Under the ownership of MidOcean, Agilex completed four add-on acquisitions and “significantly reinvested in the business.” The target operates from its headquarters in Piscataway, New Jersey and opened a new production facility in Somerset County, New Jersey earlier in 2017.
