Danisco Flavours to restructure in France
The move comes in response to the general recession of the fragrance market over the past four years
Danisco said that the move came in response to the general recession of the fragrance market over the past four years and the plant's present-day inconvenient location in respect of logistics. Carl Johan Corneliussen at Danisco told FoodIngredientsFirst that tax free sales have particularly gone down in the fragrances market, affecting the company's business.
The company reported that the restructuring of Danisco Seillans SAS forms part of the adjustment of Danisco Flavours to market conditions. “In order to be a strong player and improve our position in the highly competitive fragrance market, Danisco Flavours aims at fewer, larger production and innovation facilities. This has previously resulted in restructuring measures in Spain, the UK, the Netherlands and latest in Sweden”, explains Flemming Lyngholm, Danisco Flavours.
Danisco Seillans was formerly known as Calchauvet and is the result of a merger between C.A.L. and Chauvet in January 1999. The company has 114 employees and buys its raw materials from suppliers worldwide. The company manufactures natural ingredients for fine fragrances and the production process includes extraction and distillation.
