Revyve welcomes new distribution partner AVEL
More good news for Revyve as we expand our reach across Southeast Europe & Central Asia through our new distribution partnership with AVEL. Founded in 1987, they serve 20+ countries, supplying specialty ingredients for everything from cosmetics to food, pharmaceuticals to detergents and more. Its team combines technical expertise with a consultative approach, helping customers develop and refine formulations through dedicated application laboratories.
As our Chief Commercial Officer Pedro-Blás Gomes explained:
“We are delighted to welcome AVEL as Revyve’s partner. Together, we’re bringing our unique ingredients to food manufacturers in a region where high egg prices create a clear opportunity to rethink formulations, improve cost efficiency and make food more sustainably.
What gives me particular confidence is how our teams really get to the heart of the challenge. We both start with the application, bring technical expertise to the table and work alongside customers to make solutions perform in practice.”
Here’s what Marina Drakou, Product Manager at AVEL had to tell us about the new partnership.
What convinces a manufacturer in your region to switch out a functional ingredient like egg?
The primary driver for manufacturers in our region is the ongoing price volatility and consistently high cost of eggs, making them actively search for more cost-effective alternatives. If a replacement can successfully match all the functional properties of real eggs, such as binding, gelling, and texture, while maintaining a nice and clean flavor profile, they are entirely ready to make the switch.
Where in your territory do you see the strongest pull for egg replacers, and why?
The strongest demand and pull for egg replacers in our territory is primarily in bakery products as well as sauces and condiments, where manufacturers are constantly looking for stable, cost-effective solutions that do not compromise on texture or performance.
How do Revyve’s ingredients respond to challenges facing customers within the partnership territory
Regarding market challenges, food manufacturers across our territory are constantly looking to replace animal-based ingredients without compromising on texture, mouthfeel, or shelf-life. Revyve’s functional ingredients directly address these pain points by offering high-performance, functional solutions with emulsifying, gelling and foaming properties that simplify formulations while meeting strict clean-label demands.
Welcome to the Revyve network, AVEL!
