The manufacturer of fragrances and beauty ingredients is strengthening its presence in Latin America with additional capabilities. Givaudan has announced a 110 million USD investment to build a new fragrances manufacturing facility in Pedro Escobedo, Mexico.
The new compounding facility will have a capacity up to 20,000–25,000 tons as customer demand grows and will be operational during 2029.
The company said the project is part of its so-called ‘in the region, for the region’ supply strategy, enhancing agility, shortening lead times, and reducing transport-related costs and emissions by bringing production closer to customers in Mexico and Latin America
“Latin America continues to show strong market momentum. This new investment is a strong statement of our commitment to customers in the whole Latin America region with very important markets like Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean area and the Andean region and will enable us to meet this increasing demand by offering faster, more flexible service to customers, thereby supporting our local and regional ambitions,” commented Maurizio Volpi, President of Givaudan Fragrance & Beauty.
“The Pedro Escobedo facility has been designed to combine automation, scalability, and efficiency. This new site will reinforce our supply infrastructure in Latin America and allow us to optimise production flows while reducing our environmental footprint,” added Andy Stedman, Global Head of Operations for Givaudan Fragrance & Beauty.
The project also builds upon Givaudan’s 2024 announcement to expand its Fragrance & Beauty production capacity for encapsulation technologies in Pedro Escobedo, further demonstrating the site’s growing strategic importance within Givaudan Fragrance & Beauty’s global network.
