U.S. company International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) has acquired Israel-based Aromor, a specialist in producing and selling complex specialty ingredients used especially in the perfume sector. The acquisition has been funded wholly by the company’s existing resources and Aromor's activity will be integrated into the IFF's Fragrances Ingredients business.

“We believe the use of the Aromor ingredients portfolio and their technology-development process will be value enhancing by improving the overall profitability and win rate of our fragrance creations,” said Nicolas Mirzayantz, IFF’S group president for fragrances. “We plan to continue to support the Aromor facility in Israel and invest in and develop their research and development and manufacturing capabilities in order to strengthen the development and production of specialty ingredients.”
