Givaudan breaks ground on its new fragrances manufacturing facility in Mexico

The ceremony marks two initiatives: the opening of an expanded Fragrance & Beauty ingredients facility, which is now operational, and the start of construction on a new greenfield compounding factory with planned capacity of 20,000–25,000 tons by 2029. Together, these projects represent an investment of over USD 160 million.

“This double milestone builds on a strong track record of investment at our Pedro Escobedo site. In 2024, Givaudan inaugurated an expanded production facility dedicated to encapsulation technologies, doubling capacity and now representing 40% of our global capability in this area. With this new phase, we’re not just expanding our footprint; we’re reinforcing the foundation for a more collaborative relationship with our customers across this region,” said Christian Stammkoetter, CEO Givaudan.

“The new Pedro Escobedo site represents a forward-looking step for our Fragrance & Beauty business in Latin America. By locating production closer to our customers, we reinforce our ability to respond to evolving market needs while advancing our sustainability and growth aspirations. This investment reflects our long-term vision to create value through innovation and collaboration. It also exemplifies our local and regional (L&R) strategy, building deeper connections and ensuring that Givaudan remains a trusted partner in Latin America’s dynamic landscape,” said Maurizio Volpi, president, Givaudan Fragrance & Beauty.

Each successive investment has added to the strategic importance of the Pedro Escobedo site, positioning it as a key part of Givaudan’s growth and ambitions in Latin America.
