The French headquartered firm, which was among speakers at our World Confectionery Conference last year, has continued to gain momentum in the market over the past year with its range of innovations including its recently released Syndeo gelling system.

For her part, Eglantine will be working alongside Holger Kirchner, Commercial Director for the company, which has continued to play its part in a number of key events including the last edition of Fi Europe in Paris.

With more than 20 years of experience in the natural ingredients sector for the food and beverage industry worldwide, Églantine Badré will share valuable international expertise with customers and the entire Alland & Robert distribution network.

These first interactions have confirmed the unique strength of the partnerships that make Alland & Robert so successful.

“My commitment is simple: to preserve the exceptional level of customer intimacy that defines Alland & Robert, while leveraging our technical and R&D expertise to support their growth, innovation projects, operational improvements and sustainability ambitions. ” says Eglantine, who will be representing the business as part of its team as it travels to SupplySide Global in Las Vegas (October 26-30), then at Fi Europe 2026 (November 17-19).
