The Swiss manufacturer of perfumes and cosmetic ingredients has launched the construction of a new manufacturing plant in Pedro Escobedo, au Mexique.

The ceremony of laying the first stone made it possible to celebrate both the launch of the works of the new perfume composition factorywhich will reach a production capacity of 20,000 to 25,000 tons by 2029, but also the official opening of theextension of the perfumery and beauty ingredients sitewhich is now fully operational. Together, these projects represent a total investment of more than 160 million US dollars.

« Both of these events build on previous significant investments made at our Pedro Escobedo site. In 2024, Givaudan inaugurated an expansion of the production site dedicated to encapsulation technologies, doubling its capacity which now represents 40% of our global capacity in this area. With this new phase, we are not just expanding our presence. We are strengthening the foundation of a more collaborative relationship with our customers in this region “, underlines Christian Stammkoetter, CEO of Givaudan.

« The new Pedro Escobedo site represents a forward-looking step for our Perfumes and Beauty business in Latin America. By locating our production as close as possible to our customers, we strengthen our ability to respond to changing market needs while advancing our ambitions for sustainability and growth. This investment reflects our long-term vision of creating value through innovation and collaboration. It also illustrates our local and regional (L&R) strategy, deepening connections and ensuring Givaudan remains a trusted partner in the dynamic Latin American landscape », added Maurizio Volpi, President of Givaudan Perfumes and Beauty.

The Pedro Escobedo factory is today a strategic site for Givaudan’s growth and ambitions in Latin America.
