Givaudan, the world leader in Fragrance & Beauty, has announced a major strategic investment to construct a new fragrance manufacturing facility in Pedro Escobedo, Mexico, expanding its industrial presence in Latin America and supporting its ambitious growth plans.
The move aligns with Givaudan’s 2030 strategy, emphasizing long-term growth, operational excellence, and sustainable value creation across regions.
The project underscores the company’s commitment to its “in the region, for the region” supply strategy, aiming to improve agility, shorten lead times, and cut transport-related costs and emissions by producing closer to customers across Mexico and Latin America. The new compounding facility is expected to reach a capacity of 20,000–25,000 tonnes as customer demand grows, with operations slated to begin in 2029.
“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 (L&R) ambitions," said 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.
