Givaudan to invest USD 110 million in a new compounding facility for fragrances in Pedro Escobedo, Mexico
Strengthening its presence in Latin America with additional capabilities to better serve customers
Givaudan, the global leader in Fragrance & Beauty, today announced a significant strategic investment to build a new fragrances manufacturing facility in Pedro Escobedo, further strengthening its industrial footprint in Latin America and supporting its growth ambitions. This investment is in line with Givaudan’s 2030 strategy, reinforcing long-term growth, operational excellence, and sustainable value creation across regions.
The project underscores Givaudan Fragrance & Beauty’s commitment to its ‘in the region, for the region’ supply strategy, enhancing agility, shortening lead times, and reducing transport-related costs and emissions by bringing production closer to customers in Mexico and Latin America. The new compounding facility will have a capacity up to 20,000–25,000 tonnes as customer demand grows and will be operational during 2029.
“Latin America continues to show strong market momentum. This new investment is a strong statement of our commitment to customers in the whole Latin America region with very important markets like Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean area and the Andean region and will enable us to meet this increasing demand by offering faster, more flexible service to customers, thereby supporting our local and regional (L&R) ambitions.”
Maurizio Volpi, President of Givaudan Fragrance & Beauty
“The Pedro Escobedo facility has been designed to combine automation, scalability, and efficiency. This new site will reinforce our supply infrastructure in Latin America and allow us to optimise production flows while reducing our environmental footprint.”
Andy Stedman, Global Head of Operations for Givaudan Fragrance & Beauty
It also builds upon Givaudan’s 2024 announcement to expand its Fragrance & Beauty production capacity for encapsulation technologies in Pedro Escobedo, Mexico, further demonstrating the site’s growing strategic importance within Givaudan Fragrance & Beauty’s global network.
