28 May 2020 --- Symrise is investing €50 million (US$55 million) in the construction of a new production site for flavorings in Nantong, China. The move marks the company’s largest individual investment to date and the new plant was inaugurated virtually – in a video conference – due to COVID-19 social distancing measures.
