Founded in 1992 in Brazil, Sylvestre is a trusted supplier of high-quality natural ingredients, specializing in botanical extracts, fruit powders, superfruits, teas, and unique functional plant-based solutions sourced from the rich and diverse Brazilian flora. With a portfolio of more than 200 natural ingredients, the company serves customers across the food, beverage, and nutraceutical industries, supporting wellness-oriented and health-driven applications. Leveraging Brazil’s rich biodiversity and advanced extraction and spray-drying capabilities, Sylvestre has developed strong expertise in delivering clean-label, high-value botanical systems to both domestic and international markets.
The acquisition positions Prodalim to deepen its fast-growing functional beverage solutions offering, accelerate its expansion into the US functional ingredients market, and broaden its presence across emerging markets. The global nutraceuticals market includes an approximately $10B B2B ingredients segment and a B2C market exceeding $500B, both growing at an estimated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 7-8%, driven by increasing consumer demand for preventive health, wellness, and functional nutrition solutions.
This strategic addition enhances Prodalim’s capabilities in natural extraction and functional ingredient development, broadens cross-selling opportunities, and accelerates the global reach of its portfolio through Prodalim’s commercial and supply chain platform. The transaction strengthens Prodalim’s position in health-focused beverage and snack applications, reinforcing its long-term growth strategy in functional ingredients. The acquisition also reinforces Prodalim’s core value proposition of delivering natural, healthy, and clean-label solutions aligned with evolving consumer demand.
The acquisition of Sylvestre marks another important milestone in Prodalim’s accelerated strategic transformation, further cementing its position as a high-value innovation partner for the food and beverage industry. This follows the strategic acquisition of beverage flavor producer Rene Laurent (France), announced in December 2025.
As part of its transformation, Prodalim has reorganized its operations into three purpose-driven divisions:
Juice Solutions – legacy business providing a one-stop-shop solution for juice producers, including sourcing, logistics, formulation and blending
Specialty Ingredients & Solutions - covering taste ingredients such as aromatic fruit-based essences (FTNF) and flavors, essential oils, functional ingredients, including citrus fibers and natural colors, with an in-house R&D team for tailored beverage solutions.
SOLOS - a premium, patent-based de-alcoholization solutions serving the NoLo industry
All divisions are supported by Prodalim’s vertically integrated, regenerative supply chain, anchored in circular economy principles. Through this approach, Prodalim empowers food and beverage brands to innovate with sustainability, functionality, and transparency at their core.
