IFF

International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF) is a global company that produces flavors, fragrances and cosmetic actives. The company was founded in 1958 through the merger of Polak & Schwarz (P&S) and van Ameringen-Haebler, two companies that were strong in flavors and fragrances respectively.

IFF is headquartered in New York City and has facilities in 44 countries. The company is a member of the S&P 500 Index.

In 1968, IFF established the Monell Chemical Senses Center in partnership with the Monell Foundation, which focuses on research into taste and scent. IFF is also known for its pioneering work on Living Flower technology, which has changed the way perfumes are made, and for its R&D facility in Union Beach, N.J., which includes a 55,000-square-foot greenhouse and botanical garden capable of maintaining tropical and subtropical temperature zones for more than 1,300 species of exotic plants.

The company acquired Laboratoire Monique Rémy in 2000, Bush Boake Allen in 2000, Aromor Flavors and Fragrances in 2014, Ottens Flavors in 2015, David Michael & Company in 2016 and Lucas Meyer Cosmetics in 2015.

IFF is a $10.8 billion market cap company with a global footprint that generated more than 75 percent of its 2016 revenue outside the United States and 51 percent in emerging markets.
