BUSINESS DIVISIONS
Our operating business is divided into two business divisions: Flavor & Nutrition and Scent & Care. They each have their own research and development, purchasing, production, quality control, marketing and sales departments, a system that allows us to accelerate our internal processes. We aim to simplify procedures and make them customer-oriented and pragmatic. We place great value on fast and flexible decision-making. Both business divisions have divided their organization into four regions with separate regional heads:
- Europe, Africa and the Middle East (EAME)
- North America
- Asia/Pacific
- Latin America
Flavor & Nutrition
Our customers use the flavors we produce in liquid, powder, granulated or paste form to make food and beverages. Our flavors give the products distinct tastes. We provide individual flavors or complete solutions, which, apart from the actual aroma, can contain additional functional raw materials, colorants or microencapsulated components. The new Consumer Health application area caters to the growing food supplement and pharmaceutical preparation markets, among others.
The business division Flavor & Nutrition includes the business units Sweet, Savory, Beverages, and Consumer Health.
Scent & Care
Fragrances
Perfume makers combine aromatic raw materials such as aroma chemicals and ethereal oils into complex fragrance compositions (perfume oils). Symrise perfume oils are used in perfumes (fine fragrances), in body-care products (hair-care products, washing lotions, skin creams, and deodorants), and in household products (washing products).
Oral Care
Symrise offers a full range of mint aromas and intermediate products for toothpaste, oral care products and chewing gum.
Life Essentials
The products manufactured by this business unit are used in skin care products, hair care products, suntan lotions, aftershave balsams, shower gels, washing lotions, antidandruff shampoos and deodorants. The unique feature of Life Essentials is the combination of conventional body care and plant-based bioactive ingredients.
Aroma Molecules
These products, which exist in liquid or crystalline form, are used in various applications. Nature-identical menthol is used in oral care products, chewing gums and shower gels. Symrise uses aroma chemicals (intermediate products for perfume oils) to produce its own perfume oils or sells them to customers who use them in their perfume oils.
