2. Introduction
Somewhere is the Artist...
He who wanders in the following collection
of nearly a thousand different perfumes and
flavours, fancies himself in a museum of
ancient and modern art where masterpieces
of different times and divergent schools
have been exhibited.
At first one gets confused because of the
multitude. One quickly runs through the
show-rooms to get a general impression, but
then retraces one’s steps. Because somewhere is
the artist one is looking for.
Here it will be the case too. Somewhere amongst these thousand creations is
the artist you are looking for, able to helping you to confer your product the
determinant touch of finesse you want to give it which can be expressed in
the words PERFUME and FLAVOUR!
Somewhere is the Idealist...
Behind this multitude of perfumes and flavours for such a variety of goods
is also the idealist who, in an invisible and inconspicuous way, would like to
contribute to the success of those who want to produce all these goods, and
to the happiness of those who intend to use these goods.
The worldwide expansion a modern essence factory has to undertake in
order to fulfil its function gives to its existence another ideological aspect!
The invisible but no less real community of the most divergent nations, races,
languages and ideologies, all of them inspired with the desire of making more
pleasant the lives of people for whom they are responsible.
Somewhere is the Business Man...
In this world one cannot create masterpieces and persue an ideal in an inner
room. In case one really wants to place his knowledge and art at the disposal
of the world, a gathering of organizing capacity and commercial, technical
and financial powers is essential. These powers should be able in a QUICK,
RELIABLE and FRIENDLY way, to meet the demands and to satisfy the wants
of thousands of industries spread over the whole world. This needs a business
man.
­
“ What we offer reflects what we have achieved during more than
thirty years as artists, idealists and as business men. We hope to
continue this work for a long time together with all to whom we
have meant something in the past and will mean something in
the future. ”

used, to exciting our end consumers’senses of taste
and smell, beyond our customers.

to the changing demands of our consumers.
This drives us to innovate, create and develop.

Profound respect is earned daily. This
means more than respecting quality
standards, but also respecting the
people we work with. Only then can we,
together, earn the respect and trust of
our suppliers and customers.

Integrity and Profound Respect, dutifully

5. Our Services Flavour development
No market is alike. No manufacturing process is alike.
Grounded by our knowledge and experience in flavours, your
direct input, such as the target market, process, brand and product
application, complete the core of our starting development. By
enveloping product application into the design process, this allows
us to better understand the flavour interaction as it is applied.
Similarly this approach is adopted from idea generation (product
or brand extension) to trouble shooting (sedimentation, legislation,
degradation etc).
