Givaudan opens fragrance encapsulation centre

Givaudan, the global leader in fragrance & beauty creation, inaugurated today (Dec 6) its first integrated fragrance encapsulation centre in Singapore. It said this is part of its 2025 strategy to provide new and superior product offerings for customers.

This integrated centre completes a five-year investment programme of CHF 30 million and will further support the development of encapsulation delivery technology, to meet consumers’ demand for long-lasting fragrance experiences, across a variety of product categories. It brings together all of Givaudan’s competencies around encapsulation: research, creation with dedicated perfumers on-site, production, and now the industrialisation capability with scale-up lab, in one site. The centre will also address customers’ expectations for high-performing planet-friendly scent release solutions to reach new consumers.

Gilles Andrier, CEO, commented: “This encapsulation centre based in Singapore underscores our commitment to the Asia-Pacific region, aligned with our high growth markets expansion objective. Having all our encapsulation facilities housed in the same location will significantly sustain our innovation, operational reliability and internal agility, to effectively support our customers’ growth.”

Designed to address responsible energy consumption challenges, the integrated encapsulation centre for fragrances obtained the Green Mark Gold certification and is a flagship demonstration of Givaudan’s high sustainability standards.
