Acacia gum, from origin to your plant.
Integrated importer of natural African raw materials. We control the whole supply chain, from harvest in Chad to delivery in Europe, with no middlemen.
A family story, an industrial vision.
For decades, our family has been collecting, drying and storing acacia gum in Chad. Détails Import was created to bring this field expertise closer to European manufacturers.
As a member of Détails Groupe (Montauban, France), we combine a team in Chad, at the heart of the gum belt, with a team in France, close to our customers.
