Givaudan strengthens its presence in Latin America with the construction of a new plant in Pedro Escobedo.
On April 24, 2026, Givaudan celebrated the start of construction work on a new plant in Pedro Escobedo, Mexico. This event marks a significant milestone in the company's commitment to the region and its customers.
Plant inauguration and key initiatives
The ceremony was the occasion for two major announcements: the official opening of an expanded perfumery and beauty ingredients production site, now fully operational, and the launch of construction of a new compounding plant. The latter will reach a production capacity of 20,000 to 25,000 tonnes by 2029. Investment in these projects amounts to over 160 million US dollars.
Commitment to sustainability and growth
Christian Stammkoetter, General Manager of Givaudan, said: « Both events build on previous major investments made at our Pedro Escobedo site. In 2024, Givaudan inaugurated an extension to the production site dedicated to encapsulation technologies, doubling its capacity, which now represents 40 % of our worldwide capacity in this field. With this new phase, we're not just expanding our presence; we're strengthening the basis for a more collaborative relationship with our customers in this region. "
Maurizio Volpi, President of Givaudan Fragrances and Beauty, added: « The new Pedro Escobedo site represents a forward-looking step for our Perfumes and Beauty business in Latin America. "
Each investment has increased Pedro Escobedo's strategic importance, positioning him as a pillar of Givaudan's growth in the Latin American market.
