“Providing excellent support to our customers that allows for greater collaboration and increased speed-to-market is a priority for us,” said Andreas Fibig, Chief Executive Officer. “As the new office expands our coverage in the region, it simultaneously provides customers with local culinary, applications and flavors expertise along with access to our regional and global resources.”

Matthias Haeni, Group President, Flavors, continued, “I am pleased that with the opening of this new facility, we can offer our customers a differentiated service model geared towards enhancing collaboration and building greater customer intimacy. This site is centrally located to many key customers in the Midwest region of the United States, and allows us to partner more closely with them to collaboratively build healthier taste solutions that help differentiate their brands.”
