The manufacturer of perfumes and cosmetic ingredients is strengthening its presence in Latin America with new capabilities. Givaudan announced an investment of $110 million in the construction of a new perfume manufacturing factory in Pedro Escobedo, au Mexique.
The new composition plant will have a capacity of up to 20,000 to 25,000 tonnes, depending on growth in demand, and will be operational in 2029.
The company explains that this project is part of its “in the region, for the region” procurement strategy, which aims to increase agility, reduce lead times and reduce transport costs and emissions, by bringing production closer together for customers located in Mexico and Latin America.
« Latin America continues to demonstrate strong market dynamics. This new investment clearly demonstrates our commitment to customers throughout the Latin America region with very important markets such as Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean area and the Andean region. It will enable us to meet this growing demand by offering a faster and more flexible service to our customers, supporting our ambitions with Local & Regional customers. “, explain Maurizio Volpi, President of Givaudan Perfumes & Beauty.
« The Pedro Escobedo site was designed to combine automation, scalability and efficiency. This new site will strengthen our supply infrastructure in Latin America and allow us to optimize production flows while reducing our environmental footprint », added Andy Stedman, Global Head of Operations for Givaudan Perfumes & Beauty.
This project also builds on Givaudan’s 2024 announcement to expand its production capacity for fragrance encapsulation technologies at Pedro Escobedo, an increasingly strategic location within the Givaudan Perfumes & Beauty global network.
