MUMBAI, INDIA, Jun 29, 2015 - (ACN Newswire) - Connell Brothers (CBC), a division of Wilbur-Ellis Company, continues its growth and expansion plans in Asia-Pacific with the acquisition of the Personal & Health Care ingredients distribution business of Mascot Universal Pvt. Ltd., in India.

"Mascot Universal places an emphasis on marketing excellence and technical competency, making the company a strategic fit for CBC and our growth plans," said Tejas Parekh, general manager of CBC, India.
