Givaudan (Zurich, Switzerland) celebrated the grand opening of its new, state-of-the-art production facility in Cikarang, Indonesia. By expanding manufacturing capacity and accelerating innovation, the new facility will strengthen the Company’s ability to meet rising consumer demand for memorable food experiences in one of Southeast Asia’s fastest growing markets. The company is investing CHF 50 million to support growth in Indonesia.
The new site in Cikarang will initially create approximately 60 jobs with potential for further expansion. Spanning 24,000 square meters on a 50,000 square meter site, the facility will produce savoury, sweet, and snack flavour powders for various applications.
