German chemical and ingredients distributor partners with Centric Software to ensure compliance and streamline ingredients & recipe management
CAMPBELL, Calif., June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Centric Software® is pleased to announce that Brenntag, the global market leader in chemical and ingredients distribution, has selected Centric PLMTM to streamline new product development and harmonize product data for its food and nutrition division. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to plan, formulate, develop, procure, manufacture and sell consumer goods products in food & beverage, grocery, food service and multi-category retail to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.
Brenntag Specialties sought a single source of truth for master data management in its Food & Nutrition business to ensure regulatory compliance across multiple regions. With a strong network of dedicated Innovation and Application centers working daily on satisfying customer requests, Brenntag identified an opportunity to streamline R&D processes.
Nutrient calculation and labeling declaration were vital functions to address. For each country where Brenntag operates, there are specific regulatory rules governing permitted ingredients and labeling. Formulation, recipe management, compliance checks, label and artwork management all operate together. They require a streamlined process and reliable, real-time data.
"We need a holistic PLM solution to harmonize data and processes across our Food & Nutrition Division in order to ensure that we are agile in developing new products and solutions for our customers, while always guaranteeing the quality and compliance standards our company is renowned for", says Stephanie Pretesacque, Director Innovation and Application at Brenntag.
With Brenntag's vast global network of employees, customers and suppliers, a robust global and connected PLM solution is necessary. The ability to operate in multiple languages is essential, and data needs to be updated and available in real-time.
After a thorough analysis of a number of PLM solutions, Brenntag selected Centric. One of Centric PLM's key differentiators is its strong integration capabilities with other systems and partners, particularly with FoodChain ID, a popular compliance database and partner of Centric Software. Brenntag also chose Centric for its strong customer references in the food & beverage sector, track record of successful implementations delivering ROI and high user adoption rates.
"Centric PLM will empower teams to manage projects more efficiently with real time visibility and a global view of departments, projects and roles," says Maria Sarandeva, Commercial Excellence Director. "Regulatory compliance and sustainability are at the core of Brenntag's brand promise. With PLM, all product information will be stored in one location and we will easily track product development."
"We are thrilled that Brenntag has selected Centric PLM as the foundation solution to ensure regulatory, compliance and sustainability across their vast global business network," says Fabrice Canonge, President of Centric Software. "We look forward to a long-term partnership with this pioneering brand committed to innovation and sustainability."
