Regulatory News:
International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (NYSE: IFF)
(Euronext Paris: IFF), a leading innovator of scent, taste and
nutrition, is opening two new facilities in China -- a flavors
manufacturing facility in the Zhangjiagang Free Trade Zone on
October 9, and a Natural Product Research lab, located in the
Nanjing Life Science Park, on October 15. The flavors plant is the
Company’s second in China and is designed to supplement IFF’s
existing flavors and manufacturing operations in Guangzhou. The
Naturals Lab is the company’s first outside of the US.
“China is a critical component of our long-term strategy,” said
Andreas Fibig, IFF Chairman and CEO. “The opening of these new
sites will support our efforts to be a partner of choice and to
grow in this exciting region. Our presence in Zhangjiagang allows
us to better serve our Chinese customers and focus on driving
differentiated products within the broader Greater Asian market and
beyond.” Mr. Fibig continued, “Ever-mindful of the value of
naturals for consumers around the world, the output of the new
Naturals Lab is not limited by region. It is an opportunity to
combine our discoveries with our innovative technologies to create
winning solutions for our global customers.”
The Zhangjiagang site spans 66,800 square meters, encompassing
the main manufacturing building that is fitted with a strong odor
control system, quality control labs and an ambient warehouse for
goods. Aligned with IFF’s commitment to sustainability, this
facility is designed to have zero liquid discharge by reusing all
water on-site, and is built to LEED Silver qualifications. The site
will initially focus on powder flavor production with additional
flavor technologies coming on line in a phased approach.
“IFF is focused on creating winning tastes that resonate both
locally and globally,” said Matthias Haeni, Divisional CEO,Taste.
“With this new world-class facility, we are well-positioned to meet
the current and future needs of our customers – and do so in a
responsible and sustainable manner. We are proud to build on this
legacy with our growing presence in China and look forward to being
a strong corporate neighbor in our new homes within the
Zhangjiagang Free Trade Zone and the Nanjing Life Science
Park.”
The Natural Product Research lab is approximately 520 m2 and is
equipped with state-of-the-art systems for the research and
development of flavors from natural sources. The lab is
strategically located to leverage the botanical supply chain,
biodiversity, and accumulated botanical and phytochemical knowledge
prevalent throughout China’s expansive history. The facility will
expand the Company’s capabilities in natural product research and
address the accelerating consumer demand for naturals and clean
label. An extension of the current Natural Product Research team
based in Union Beach, New Jersey, US, it is expected to accelerate
IFF’s natural product pipeline.
“Speaking for the team, we cannot wait to see what innovations
we will discover to help support the growing demand for naturals,”
said Dr Gregory Yep, EVP Chief Global Scientific &
Sustainability Officer. “IFF is committed to sustainability in all
we do. We are excited to partner with our regional and global
customers and help bring their products to consumers in an
environmentally responsible manner. These two sites are positioned
to push the boundaries of what’s possible for IFF in Greater China
and around the world.”
