About the Company

International Flavors & Fragrances

Produces flavors, fragrances, and pharma solutions.

International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. operates as a vertically integrated supplier of ingredients and formulations across four main areas: Nourish (food and beverage ingredients and solutions), Health & Biosciences (sustainable, bio-based solutions), Scent (fragrances for fine perfumery, personal care, and home care), and Pharma Solutions (functional excipients and active pharmaceutical ingredients for pharma and dietary supplements). Its products go from research and development through manufacturing, enabling customers to formulate foods, cosmetics, and medicines. The company differentiates itself by concentrating resources on higher-margin segments (Scent, Nourish flavors, Health & Biosciences) and by streamlining its portfolio through strategic divestitures to improve margins and return on invested capital. The overarching goal is steady margin expansion and stronger ROIC while delivering integrated, end-to-end solutions to its global customer base.
