As the world’s leading private fragrances and flavors company, Firmenich has a long history of innovation and achievements.

Originally a fragrance company, Firmenich expanded into the flavors business by creating synthetic alternatives to natural flavors. In 1939, the Director of Research and Development at Firmenich, Lavoslav Ružička, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry “for his work on polymethylenes and higher terpenes,” including the first chemical synthesis of male sex hormones.

In recent years, Firmenich has expanded its capabilities through acquisitions and partnerships, allowing them to serve mid-sized customers in North America, expand its presence in Africa, and specialize in natural functional ingredients for protein applications.

Through its commitment to sustainability and positive change, Firmenich continues to inspire and innovate—creating emotions through the senses of taste and smell, and generating a positive impact on people, nature, and the climate.
