ABbiotek Health, Fytexia and Anzchem unite as Biotexia, combining biotics, polyphenols, peptides and marine lipids

ABF Ingredients businesses ABbiotek Health, Fytexia and Anzchem have joined under a new brand, Biotexia, in a move designed to strengthen their position across metabolic, immune, and digestive health, as well as the growing longevity market.

Laurent Hubert, CEO of Biotexia, said the primary reason for the creation of the new company was to bring together expertise to better serve its customers.

“Each of our three former businesses offered something valuable, and by bringing them together we will be able to innovate and share our scientific expertise more effectively,” Hubert said. “Moving forward as Biotexia, our goal is to expand and play an active part in the continuing evolution of the global wellness market.”

Each entity focuses on an important area of nutrition: ABbiotek Health specializes in microbiome-supporting biotics and histamine-degrading enzymes; Fytexia focuses on polyphenols and peptides; and Anzchem works in fish oil lipids.

Elzanne Swart, head of promotion and communication at Biotexia said the concept behind the unified brand of Biotexia is to allow customers to recognise the company as a long‑term, strategic collaborator rather than a transactional supplier.

“Biotexia is a newly created name that blends familiar scientific cues with a fresh expression of purpose,” Swart told NI. “It draws linguistic inspiration from biotechnology, bioactives, reinforcing continuity with the companies’ scientific heritage while signalling a step change in how the business presents itself to the market.”

Designing a nutraceutical company’s brand identity

Several key design choices were made to represent Biotexia’s positioning. The logo, Swart noted, is composed of simplified organic shapes inspired by microorganisms, reflecting the company’s roots in bioactives and biological systems, while the fixed symbol‑and‑wordmark structure reinforces clarity, consistency and scientific rigour.

The colour pallet has been chosen to be contemporary and controlled, balancing ‘natural cues with clinical clarity’, acting as a nod to scientific credibility as well as modernism, Swart said. Clean typefaces were selected to communicate technical aptitude, data‑led storytelling and ease of use across scientific, regulatory and marketing materials.

As Swart noted, storytelling played a central role in making Biotexia’s science accessible, relevant and meaningful.

“For Biotexia, storytelling is not about simplifying science to the point of dilution, but about structuring it clearly—linking nature, innovation and outcomes in a way that resonates across audiences,” she said. “This approach supports both technical decision‑makers and consumer‑facing teams, ensuring scientific credibility remains at the core of every message while enabling clearer, more engaging communication.”

Biotexia will make its debut as a unified brand at the upcoming Vitafoods Europe tradeshow in Barcelona, showcasing weight management solutions such as ingredients DNF 10, a peptide studied for its role in appetite regulation, and Sinetrol, a natural citrus polyphenol complex researched for its ability to increase resting energy expenditure and promote lipolysis.
