Givaudan inaugurates new production facility in Indonesia

Givaudan, a global leader in Taste & Wellbeing, today celebrated the grand opening of its new, state-of-the-art production facility in Cikarang, Indonesia. By expanding manufacturing capacity and accelerating innovation, the new facility will strengthen the Company’s ability to meet rising consumer demand for memorable food experiences in one of Southeast Asia’s fastest growing markets.  

The new site in Cikarang will initially create approximately 60 jobs with potential for further expansion. Spanning 24,000 square metres on a 50,000 square metre site, the facility will produce savoury, sweet, and snack flavour powders for various applications.

“We are delighted to open this new facility in Cikarang, the latest example of Givaudan’s long-term commitment to Indonesia. This significant investment is aligned with our 2030 strategy of increasing our presence in strategic high growth markets, enabling us to extend our customer reach, capturing new growth opportunities while strengthening our contribution to the local economy.”

Christian Stammkoetter, CEO Givaudan

Aligned with Givaudan’s sustainability agenda, the site incorporates advanced technologies such as solar energy systems, rainwater harvesting, green electricity partnerships, and energy-efficient lighting and water management, reducing its environmental footprint while enhancing operational resilience.
