Givaudan, global leader in fragrances and flavours, announced it has completed the acquisition of Ungerer & Company, the US based Flavour, Fragrance and Specialty Ingredients company. Givaudan had announced that it had reached an agreement to acquire the company in November 2019.

Headquartered in New Jersey, Ungerer is a leading independent company in the flavour and fragrance specialty ingredients business, most notably in essential oils, which provides a rich palette of predominantly natural ingredients for flavour and fragrance creation, as well as for end customers of such specialties. Ungerer also has a good local and regional customer presence for both flavours and fragrances in North America. With a presence in more than 60 countries, a total of eight manufacturing facilities and six R&D centres, Ungerer’s capabilities and its 650 employees will further extend Givaudan’s market leadership in its core flavour and fragrance activities.
