Located in the business district ‘Moscow City’, the 460 square meters building provides the environment and tools to support the company’s creative, technical and customer support teams. The new building is designed to maximize flavor and fragrance customer access and interaction. It includes a test kitchen for IFF culinary experts, application kitchens for product application teams and a state-of-the-art laboratory for flavorists. The facility has space for sensory and consumer insight analysis, as well as offices for sales and marketing activities.
IFF will be staffing the site with fragrance and flavors sales and account personnel. In addition, flavor technologists, consumer insight and support personnel are in place to interact with customers manufacturing beverages, dairy products, savory foods, sweets and snacks, as well as fine fragrances, soap and household products.
The Moscow investment follows the opening by IFF of new creative centers in Sao Paulo, Brazil and Shanghai, China earlier this year to serve growing flavor and fragrance needs in Latin America and Greater Asia, and the 2009 upgrade and expansion of facilities in Haverhill, UK, and South Brunswick, New Jersey in the US.
