Givaudan doubles flavour production capacity in China

Givaudan, the world’s leading flavour and fragrances company, officially inaugurated a new extension to its Nantong manufacturing facility aimed to support the capacity on liquid flavour production for beverages, dairy and sweet goods. This move will double the Company’s flavour production capacity in China. The CHF 30 m expansion brings the Company’s total investment on the Nantong facility to CHF 80 m.

The new 16,000 m2 addition to the original site will enable the company to meet the growing demand from customers in the food and beverage segments in China. About 95 % of the total production capacity will support customers in China. The Nantong manufacturing facility will strengthen the company’s existing capabilities in savoury and culinary flavour blends, snack seasonings, spray dries and liquid flavours. About 150 people are currently employed on site of which a large majority have been recruited locally.

The foundation for the Nantong manufacturing facility was first laid in April 2013. The facility has since pushed out its first commercial production in April 2015. Commercial production at the extended site started in July this year.
