Robertet has initiated an online business-to-business sales portal named e-Robertet for the United States and Canadian markets, and this move will provide direct digital access to the company's catalog of naturally derived substances, which are used in perfumery, food flavoring, and cosmetic formulations.
The e-Robertet platform is designed to serve a wide range of commercial clients — from independent artisans to established corporate laboratories — by offering features such as transparent pricing, the availability of smaller sample quantities, real-time inventory data, and expedited regional shipping.
The entry into the United States and Canadian markets is framed as an extension of the company's established expertise in sustainable and traceable sourcing of naturally derived substances. At its core, e-Robertet ims to lower the procurement barrier for high-grade botanical ingredients that were previously less accessible to smaller-scale professional operations.
