Givaudan breaks ground on its new fragrances manufacturing facility in Pedro Escobedo, Mexico

Givaudan, the global leader in Fragrance & Beauty, celebrates the groundbreaking of a new factory in Mexico, reaffirming its long term presence and dedication to the region and its customers.

The ceremony marks two key initiatives: the official opening of the expanded Fragrance & Beauty ingredients facility, which is now fully operational, and the start of construction on a new greenfield compounding factory that will reach a capacity of up to 20,000–25,000 tonnes by 2029. Together, these projects represent a combined 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.”

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.”

Maurizio Volpi, President, Givaudan Fragrance & Beauty

Each successive investment has strengthened Pedro Escobedo’s strategic importance, making it a cornerstone of Givaudan’s growth and ambitions across Latin America.
