Symrise AG is a German specialty chemicals company that supplies fragrances, flavorings, cosmetic base materials, active ingredients, and functional ingredients to manufacturers worldwide. Founded in 1874 and headquartered in Holzminden, Germany, the company operates across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, North America, Asia Pacific, and Latin America through two main segments: Taste, Nutrition & Health, and Scent & Care.
The Taste, Nutrition & Health segment provides ingredients and product solutions for food and beverage manufacturers, including savory flavors, sweet and dairy applications, natural ingredients for baby food and dietary supplements, pet food solutions, aquaculture feed ingredients, and probiotics. The Scent & Care segment develops and sells fragrance ingredients, aroma molecules, cosmetic ingredients, and mint flavors for use in perfumes, personal care products, cosmetics, cleaning products, detergents, air fresheners, and oral care products.
Symrise operates on a business-to-business model, selling ingredients and formulations to other manufacturers rather than directly to end consumers. The flavors and fragrances industry in which it competes is highly consolidated globally, with a small number of large multinational players serving multinational consumer goods customers.
