In the fourth quarter of 2024, Turpaz's revenues grew by 64.9% compared to the corresponding quarter and amounted to a record $55 million. The increase stems from acquisitions completed in 2024 and strong organic growth in Turpaz's core activity in the field of flavors and fragrances, offsetting negative organic growth in the field of specialty fine ingredients. The field of specialty fine ingredients began to show improvement in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the company estimates that this trend will continue and even strengthen in 2025.
