Givaudan has announced a strategic investment of USD 110 million to build a new fragrance compounding facility in Pedro Escobedo, Mexico, reinforcing its presence in Latin America and supporting its long-term growth ambitions under the company’s 2030 strategy.
The new site will operate under Givaudan’s “in the region, for the region” supply model, bringing production closer to customers across Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and the Andean region. This approach will improve agility, shorten lead times, and reduce transportation-related costs and emissions. The facility is designed with scalability in mind and will reach a production capacity of 20,000 to 25,000 tonnes as demand grows, with operations expected to begin in 2029.
Maurizio Volpi, President of Givaudan Fragrance & Beauty, highlighted the strategic importance of the investment, noting that Latin America continues to show strong market momentum and that the new facility will enable faster and more flexible service for regional customers.
Andy Stedman, Global Head of Operations for Givaudan Fragrance & Beauty, added that the Pedro Escobedo plant has been designed to combine automation, efficiency, and sustainability, allowing Givaudan to optimize production flows while reducing its environmental footprint.
This investment builds on Givaudan’s earlier expansion of encapsulation technologies at the same site announced in 2024, underlining Pedro Escobedo’s growing role within the company’s global manufacturing network.
Givaudan, headquartered in Vernier (Canton of Geneva – Switzerland), employs over 17,500 people worldwide and achieved CHF 7.5 billion in sales in 2025.
