IFF, an industry leader in solutions for food, beverages, health, biosciences, and scent, announced the company invested $15.8 million in three of its innovation centres in Latin America. The facilities are strategically located in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Bogota, Colombia and Santiago, Chile to serve the diverse local markets. The sites feature state-of-the-art research, application, sensory labs and pilot plants, and offer customers access to complete product-design capabilities.
The new centres are designed to enhance customer experience, allowing customers to have deeper involvement in the development process, fostering collaboration across the company’s three business divisions ─ Nourish, Health & Biosciences and Scent ─ to deliver the exact solutions they are pursuing in a much shorter time. The new facilities will support product design and development from conceptualisation to commercialisation, serving the food and beverage, animal nutrition and health, home and personal care, nutritional supplements and bioenergy industries.
Said Zacarias Karacristo, country leader of IFF Brazil and regional president of Nourish division, IFF, Latin America: “This substantial investment is consistent with IFF’s strategy to support the growth potential of Latin America. It is also a testament of our commitment to being a key innovation partner to our regional customers.”
These regional innovation centres allow us to co-create so that we can help them transform ideas into essential solutions that address the latest consumer needs and market trends with agility and purpose.” For more visit iff.com
