Symrise, a global supplier of flavors and fragrances, announced on October 15, 2026, an investment in additional production capacity for Globalide® in India. Globalide® is a sustainable macrocyclic musk fragrance ingredient that is biodegradable and adds long-lasting, elegant notes to fragrances. The expansion aims to strengthen Symrise's global supply platform for this strategic ingredient and move the company closer to high-growth customer markets in Asia.
The investment supports Symrise's ONE Symrise strategy through targeted capital allocation, resilient value creation, and profitable growth driven by differentiated ingredients. "The investment in our Globalide® production footprint underlines our ambition to strengthen strategic product areas that create tangible value for our customers," said Michael Friede, President Scent & Care at Symrise. "With this step we are advancing our Scent & Care portfolio."
Globalide® supports sustainable fragrance concepts by combining strong olfactory performance with versatility across applications and modern fragrance creations. As demand for sustainable and high-performance fragrance ingredients grows, Symrise is investing in world-scale production capacity in India to meet this demand. "With the additional production capacity in India, we are moving closer to the fast-growing markets in Asia while adding another pillar to our long-term global manufacturing footprint," said Dr Keke Hiller, Global President Aroma Molecules at Symrise. "Globalide® combines high fragrance quality with a contemporary profile."
The expansion is expected to enhance Symrise's position in the specialty fragrance ingredients market. By increasing flexibility across its global supply network, the company aims to provide customers with reliable access to Globalide® over the long term.
