Barentz, a major global provider of specialty ingredient solutions, has announced a significant strategic distribution partnership with IQT, a company widely respected for its strong track record in innovation, product quality, and longstanding expertise. IQT supplies a broad portfolio of ingredients used across the pharmaceutical, veterinary, human nutrition, and animal nutrition industries. In addition to its role in life sciences, IQT also serves as an important industrialization center supporting sectors such as compounding, plasticizers, catalysts, and fertilizers—making it a highly versatile and influential manufacturer.
Over the years, the relationship between Barentz and IQT has evolved steadily, built on trust, shared goals, and a mutual commitment to quality. This strengthened collaboration will now span three major Latin American markets—Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia. Under this agreement, Barentz will officially distribute IQT’s portfolio across these regions. The expanded territorial integration ensures more consistent market presence, optimized logistics, and closer customer engagement, allowing both companies to support their clients with greater efficiency and responsiveness.
The new partnership will broaden the spectrum of solutions available to customers by aligning Barentz’s global distribution capabilities and technical expertise with IQT’s established reputation for technological innovation and product excellence. IQT brings more than four decades of experience to the market, and through this alliance, customers will gain simpler, more reliable access to its high-quality ingredients. Meanwhile, Barentz’s strong regional footprint and hands-on technical support will ensure that product performance, regulatory compliance, and formulation needs are addressed comprehensively.
Commenting on the collaboration, Vanessa Tavares, Head of Pharmaceuticals at Barentz South America, highlighted that the agreement reflects Barentz’s continued dedication to delivering innovative, customer-centric solutions. She emphasized that the partnership blends Barentz’s international scale with localized expertise to provide clients across Latin America with reliable supply, quality products, and in-depth technical assistance.
Rony Rechtman, Commercial Head at IQT, noted that Barentz’s strength lies in its technical proficiency and its ability to forge long-term, trusted relationships worldwide. He stated that integrating IQT’s product line—known for more than 40 years of consistent quality—with Barentz’s global network marks a pivotal step for the company. According to Rechtman, the combined capabilities of both organizations will advance the reach of IQT’s solutions, taking their legacy of excellence to broader markets and new levels of impact.
Through this latest alliance, Barentz reinforces its strategic position as a dependable partner for industry stakeholders, including manufacturers and formulators. With its global infrastructure, formulation know-how, and strong technical support, Barentz continues to deliver integrated, reliable, and high-performance solutions across the regions it serves.
