Brookside Flavors & Ingredients, LLC
Consumer
Brookside Flavors & Ingredients, LLC was formed by BEP in partnership with industry executives, Nick Nikola and Bill Gambrell, with the purpose of building a full spectrum flavor and ingredients company through the acquisition of small and midsize flavor companies and through internal development of new lines of business. BFI provides an alternative to owners who do not want to sell to large flavor houses and want to continue to be involved in the flavor businesses. Brookside's experience in the flavor industry began in 1996 when certain of its principles invested in Geneva Ingredients, Inc. Through organic growth and subsequent acquisitions, and with the help of Mr. Nikola, the team grew the company to be a diversified developer and manufacturer of sweet and savory flavors. Brookside Equity Partners is the lead sponsor.
