Description
Givaudan is one of the most well known producers of, amongst others, flavours in the world. The Flavour Ingredients business is dedicated to providing high quality materials for use within the Food and Beverage industries. For production Givaudan operates several plants, of which the production site in Naarden (the Netherlands) is one of the largest.
