To do so, our people seek, develop and create the elements that allow us to be both present today, and ahead of our time.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT: Our teams benefit from the annual reinvestment of 10% of our Sales into the research and development of new molecules and technologies. As a result, each year, we process more than 35 patents for registration. This demonstrates not only our global commitment to R&D and our leadership in science for flavors, but also our strong research philosophy and passion for scientific discoveries and exploration.

GLOBAL PRODUCT DESIGN: Our GPD team is the link between R&D and the market. It is their role to develop value-adding flavor technology solutions based on the latest scientific research.

NATURAL FLAVORS AND INGREDIENTS: Starting from the best sources to create winning natural flavors, Firmenich is committed to provide natural extracts, flavor ingredients and complete flavors to respond to the increased demand for natural and authentic products.

CREATING FLAVORS: Creative, Talented Curious and Expert are the best words to describe our flavorists. Their valuable contribution is to develop creative flavor tonalities and solutions that reflect consumer taste and product constraints, thus combining passion, art and practical technical knowledge
