Symrise’s acquisition of the Dairy Flavours, Savory Flavours, Sweet Flavours and Seasonings sectors of the Danish manufacturer Chr Hansen was approved by anti-trust authorities on 25 April, concluding Symrise’s largest acquisition to date.

It allows Symrise to keep expanding its business in the US as over 80% of Chr Hansen’s sales in the flavouring sector come from North America. The additional production capacity will dramatically improve Symrise’s competitive ability and service in North America.
