Tradebe acquires CitraSource, strengthening its global citrus ingredients division
Tradebe has successfully acquired CitraSource, a producer of natural citrus oils and extracts. The company will join Tradebe Life Sciences’ Ingredients division, further strengthening Tradebe’s presence in the U.S. market following the acquisition of Florachem in 2025.
Based in Winter Haven, Florida, CitraSource specializes in sourcing and processing ingredients from oranges, grapefruits, lemons, tangerines, and limes. Its portfolio includes citrus oils, terpeneless products, and specialty fractions used by customers worldwide. This acquisition complements Florachem’s capabilities and expands Tradebe’s expertise across the citrus value chain, while increasing manufacturing capacity and advanced distillation capabilities in Florida.
“CitraSource is a strategic acquisition that considerably expands our product portfolio in multi-tonality citrus specialties and enhances our manufacturing technology,” said Jon Leonard, CEO of the Ingredients Division at Tradebe Life Sciences.
Oscar Creixell, CEO of Tradebe Life Sciences, also added: “The integration of CitraSource, together with Florachem, reinforces our ambition to build a leading global platform in natural ingredients, strengthening our presence in the U.S. and expanding our offering to customers worldwide.”
The acquisition further reinforces Tradebe’s commitment to innovation, quality, and customer-focused solutions in the global ingredients market.
