Lucta Group, the family-owned global compa-ny specializing in the creation of fragrances, flavors, and feed additives, is ex-cited to announce that Quintessence Fragrances, an established home fra-grance and fine perfumery company, has joined the Group.
Founded in 1982, Quintessence Fragrances is headquartered in the UK and India, and under the leadership of Indian entrepreneur Bharatrao Kamte, has grown into a globally recognized company.
This step strengthens Lucta’s global fragrance capabilities, leveraging Quintes-sence’s talent and opening new commercial segments—home care and fine fragrances. Moreover, this move significantly expands Lucta's global footprint, entering key new geographies—UK, India, and UAE—and reinforcing its exist-ing presence with additional talent and operations in the USA and China.
This strategic partnership aims to pave the path for mutual success:
Carlos Ventós, CEO of Lucta, commented, “Quintessence’s strong position in key markets reflects a customer-focused philosophy that aligns with Lucta’s values and long-term approach. As a family-owned, independent company with 75 years of experience, we are excited to welcome the Quintessence passionate team and invest in their vision for the dynamic fine perfumery and home fragrance sectors.”
Mr. Kamte, CEO of Quintessence Fragrances, highlighted, “The union of our two focused companies creates tremendous global opportunities for both our valued clients and dedicated teams. Lucta brings extensive knowledge of the European, U.S., and Latin American markets, along with expertise in gourmand innovations, while Quintessence continues to strengthen its presence in India, China, the UAE, and the UK. Together, we will enhance our global manufacturing and creative capabilities to better serve our clients and partners.”
Lucta and Quintessence’s dedicated global teams are committed to delivering the highest standards to their clients, bringing together the best of both companies. With shared vision and values, this partnership is set to reshape the fragrance industry by creating scents for everlasting memories."
