Agilex Fragrances Acquires Airabella, LLC to Strengthen Position as Middle Market Fragrance Provider

Piscataway, NJ and Houston, TX: July 28, 2015 – Agilex Fragrances has acquired the assets of Texas-based Airabella. This strategic combination will enhance Agilex’s role as the leading middle market fragrance company in the United States.

With recognized expertise in Air Care, Home Care, Personal Care, Fine Fragrance and Industrial applications, Agilex is the preferred creative fragrance partner for companies seeking to maximize the value of their brands. Agilex CEO Ray Hughes stated, “The addition of Airabella to the Agilex portfolio further strengthens our position in the United States by enlarging our presence in certain geographies and making our product line available to a whole new group of consumer packaged goods companies.”

Airabella was established in 2010 by Bryant and Cheri Gauthier. Over the last five years the business has expanded both organically and through acquisition. President & owner Bryant Gauthier added, “Everyone at Airabella appreciates the trust you have placed with us in the past and believes that Agilex’s unique combination of large company resources and small company values makes them the perfect partner. Agilex offers the highest quality fragrances, world-class customer service, comprehensive regulatory support, and superior manufacturing capabilities. There will be a seamless transition and no change in our customers’ product support level. We are also very excited that our clients have now immediate access to the additional expertise and resources of Agilex.”

Agilex Fragrances has manufacturing facilities in Canton, GA and Zhaoqing, China along with a Creative Center in Piscataway, NJ.
