Givaudan opens new flavours factory in Pune

Givaudan, a leading Swiss group in the flavours and fragrances sector, has officially opened a new flavours manufacturing facility in Pune, India.

The CHF 60 million plant is Givaudan’s largest investment in the country and demonstrates the Swiss group’s interest in the growth potential of the Asia Pacific region.

The 40,000 square metre site will complement the existing facility in Daman and will enable Givaudan to meet growing demand in the food, beverage and healthcare sectors in India, Nepal and Bangladesh.

The new facility is also making important contributions to Givaudan’s Climate Action Agenda by becoming the company’s first Zero Liquid Discharge site, which ensures all waste water is purified and recycled at the end of the treatment cycle.

Energy-efficient LED lighting technology has also been fitted throughout the site to reduce CO₂ emissions while plans are under development to incorporate solar panels, contributing to Givaudan’s 100% renewable energy target.
