SINGAPORE: Givaudan has invested CHF 5 million ($4.92 million) to expand its flavour innovation centre (FIC) in Singapore. This expansion includes a new fully integrated culinary space for concept development, as well as new or expanded savoury, bakery, confectionery, beverage and dairy facilities to serve all market sectors.
The FIC is home to the Asia Pacific (APAC) campus of the Givaudan Flavour School, which is training the next generation of flavourists in the region, and the APAC Academy which supports continuous learning.
The investment improves Givaudan’s innovation capabilities in APAC, facilitating a regional focus on applied innovation, collaboration and knowledge sharing, to complement its global network. Within the FIC Givaudan flavourists will leverage the latest ingredients and technologies to develop holistic customer solutions that can go straight to market.
Expanded capacity in Singapore will enable greater collaboration and innovation with customers to meet their needs and those of a growing mass market with a desire for quality products with natural ingredients.
“The expansion of the Singapore FIC supports our 2020 strategy of investment in high growth markets and builds on our recent developments in Nantong, China; Karachi, Pakistan, and Pune in India. It proves our continuing commitment to growing with our customers and providing them with differentiated flavour solutions for consumer-preferred products that meet local market needs,” said Gilles Andrier, CEO of Givaudan.
“Givaudan has been serving customers in Singapore since 1992. This expansion underlines our ongoing commitment to our APAC and ASEAN customers, by offering them superior levels of innovative and creative flavour and taste solutions,” added Monila Kothari, Givaudan’s regional commercial head of APAC.
