Sensient Technologies Corporation Opens Singapore Innovation Centre
10 Mar 2016 --- Sensient Technologies Corporation, a leading global manufacturer and marketer of flavors, colors and fragrances, celebrated the grand opening of its technical development and application centre in Biopolis One, Singapore. The new facility will allow local Sensient units and customers to develop product solutions from locally developed initiatives based on Sensient’s global product portfolio.
“This facility enables us to replicate our customers’ own manufacturing processes, making it easier to develop products and technologies that can be tailored to their specific application environments, Paul Manning, President and CEO for Sensient Technologies Corporation told FoodIngredientsFirst. “It is these globally connected innovation centres where our people and our insight into our customers’ processes have enabled us to achieve a position of strength in our local markets. The new facility will enable us to work more closely with our customers to satisfy their product, application technology and innovation requirements, as well as helping to inspire their next generation of products.”

“We have unmatched technologies, robust product development capabilities, deep market reach throughout our businesses and great people. We are now strengthening our ability to leverage these advantages in a number of ways. Notably, the Company is sharpening our focus on customers. We aim to be an indispensable creative and strategic partner to our customers – not simply a supplier. Our investment in exceptional scientific, technical and sales personnel plays a critical role in our ability to attract and retain customers. The pieces continue to fall into place across the Company”, explained Manning.
Sensient will employ food scientists, flavorists, color chemists and applications scientists from all of its business units in order to serve the development needs of customers in the region. The centre is equipped with state-of-the-art application lines as well as key developmental equipment which give the company the unparalleled ability to replicate customer conditions in many market segments, including food and beverage, fragrance, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
The progression in manufacturing capability alongside technical innovation and creativity in Asia is demonstration of Sensient’s commitment to this dynamic market and consumer base. “Even with its growth decelerating, China looks set to add more to global dollar GDP than the United States next year. Add in the rest of emerging Asia, and the region comfortably tops the world in incremental demand,” Manning noted.
