Firmenich will accelerate business growth in South Africa by gaining direct access to new customers.

Swiss company Firmenich has acquired Flavourome, an established privately-held flavors company in South Africa that has been successfully serving the local market since 1998.

With this acquisition, Firmenich will accelerate business growth in this strategic region by gaining direct access to new customers, while operating its own high performing manufacturing facility in South Africa. 

Building on its longstanding operations in South Africa since 1988, this transaction accelerates Firmenich’s commitment to developing unique experiences suited to local market needs and preferences.

It adds to the Group’s strategic commitment to grow in Sub-Saharan Africa, as evidenced by the recent launch of a state-of-the-art Flavors facility in Lagos, Nigeria with extensive product development laboratories.

As Firmenich has been operating in South Africa for 30 years, this acquisition is a natural extension of the comapny’s commitment to building long-lasting customer partnerships in the region.
