International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (IFF) 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 sqm.
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 advanced sustainability principles including heat, water and emission management systems.
Meanwhile, the new site in Santiago comprises sales offices and applications laboratories for meeting the growing demand for flavors in Chile.
The facility is approximately 300 sqm, and is the company’s first in this Latin American country.
The company has made several large investments to support the emerging markets over the last few years.
These include an additional investment in Indonesia to build a manufacturing facility near the new creative center, and the construction of a new flavors creative center and expansion of the existing manufacturing site in Gebze, Turkey.
The company also opened a new flavors manufacturing plant in Guangzhou, China and a liquid flavors and fragrances manufacturing facility in Singapore.
In addition, it opened new creative and technical facilities in Delhi, India; in Guangzhou, Beijing and Chengdu, China, and in Dubai, UAE.
