IFF has announced the opening of a new high-tech centre for flavourings and perfumes on the outskirts of Sao Paolo, a way for the company to increase its presence in South America as well as increase its supply capabilities.

An 8,500m2 site approximately 20 kilometres from the town-centre is equipped with the latest technology for the production of aromas and perfumes.

Its infrastructure is will provide a manner to develop new products and respond to local demand, a large potential market to expand into. Present in 31 countries, International Flavors & Fragrances can in effect increase its presence in Brazil whilst simultaneously doing the same in Asia, thanks to the recent opening of a creative centre in the suburbs of Shanghai in China.
