Givaudan has broken ground on a new fragrances manufacturing facility in Pedro Escobedo, Mexico, marking a significant expansion of its industrial footprint in Latin America.
The project combines two major milestones: the official launch of an expanded Fragrance & Beauty ingredients site—now fully operational—and the construction of a new greenfield compounding plant. The new facility is expected to deliver production capacity of up to 20,000–25,000 tonnes by 2029. Together, the developments represent an investment exceeding $160 million.
The Pedro Escobedo site has become a strategic hub for Givaudan’s regional operations. A prior 2024 expansion focused on encapsulation technologies doubled capacity and now accounts for 40% of the company’s global capability in that segment.
By increasing local production, Givaudan aims to shorten supply chains, improve responsiveness to regional demand and support long-term growth across Latin America. The investment also aligns with the company’s broader strategy to deepen customer collaboration while advancing sustainability and innovation goals.
With more than 17,500 employees worldwide and 2025 sales of CHF 7.5 billion, Givaudan continues to scale its Fragrance & Beauty business through targeted infrastructure investments in high-growth markets.
