Givaudan, the global leader in Fragrance & Beauty, celebrates the groundbreaking of a new factory in Mexico, reaffirming its long-term presence and dedication to the region and its customers.

Christian Stammkoetter, CEO, Givaudan, said,

“This double milestone builds on a strong track record of investment at our Pedro Escobedo site. In 2024, Givaudan inaugurated an expanded production facility dedicated to encapsulation technologies, doubling capacity and now representing 40% of our global capability in this area. With this new phase, we’re not just expanding our footprint; we’re reinforcing the foundation for a more collaborative relationship with our customers across this region.”

A ceremony was held, which marked two key initiatives: 

• The official opening of the expanded Fragrance & Beauty ingredients facility, which is now fully operational
• The start of construction on a new greenfield compounding factory that will reach a capacity of up to 20,000– 25,000 tons by 2029

Together, these projects represent a combined investment of over $160 million.

Maurizio Volpi, President, Givaudan Fragrance & Beauty, added,

“By locating production closer to our customers, we reinforce our ability to respond to evolving market needs while advancing our sustainability and growth aspirations. This investment reflects our long-term vision to create value through innovation and collaboration. It also exemplifies our local and regional (L&R) strategy, building deeper connections and ensuring that Givaudan remains a trusted partner in Latin America’s dynamic landscape.”

Each successive investment has strengthened Pedro Escobedo’s strategic importance, making it a cornerstone of Givaudan’s growth and ambitions across Latin America.
