On June 3, 2025, Tilley Distribution and Padmini Aromatics announced a four-year extension of their distribution partnership. According to the new agreement, Tilley will become the exclusive distributor for Padmini Aromatics in Europe and the United Kingdom.
John-Paul Williams, managing director of Tilley Distribution, said, “In an age when the world’s perfumers require access to affordable high-impact aroma molecules, Padmini aromatics is best in class. That is why extending this partnership has been a key goal for Tilley. From day one working with Ayyappa, we have been astounded by his technological capabilities and moreover his ambition to consistently produce high-impact specialties at affordable levels for all perfumery companies. The opportunity to partner with Padmini Aromatics for another four years offers Tilley’s customers a world of possibilities with both existing products and new molecules to come.”
The two companies first began their partnership in 2016, following a meeting at the IFEAT conference.
Ayyappa Vemulkar, director at Padmini Aromatics, added, “Our ambition to make high-quality fragrance ingredients available to a wider audience has been met with fantastic support from Tilley’s commercial team. We work together as a group to make sure the customers’ demands are met. Continuing this important relationship was an easy decision for us following the years of support we’ve received. We very much look forward to further developing and strengthening this partnership and growing the Padmini business in Europe and the UK.”
