International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (IFF), a global creator of flavors and fragrances for consumer products, has opened a creative facility in Jakarta, Indonesia, and a sales office and applications laboratories in Santiago, Chile.
The new flavors creative center in Jakarta is located on an existing IFF site that has been rebuilt to double its footprint to 1,500 sq m. The facility will primarily support customers in Indonesia, where the company has maintained a presence for nearly 60 years. In keeping with IFF’s commitment to reduce its impact on the environment across geographies, the building incorporates sustainability principles including heat, water, and emission management systems.
The new site in Santiago comprises sales offices and applications laboratories dedicated exclusively to meet the growing demand for flavors in Chile. The facility is approximately 300 sq m, and is IFF’s first in this Latin American country.
“These facilities support our global strategic initiative to grow business in fast-emerging markets, such as Chile and Indonesia.” said Andreas Fibig, CEO. “Further, close proximity to our customers allows us to combine our global expertise with local consumer understanding to create unique and authentic flavor solutions. The new facilities in Indonesia and Chile underscore our commitment as a leading global partner to generate value for our flavors customers around the world.”
