Contribution to industry

Symrise is a key contributor to the development of the fragrance and flavor industry through its innovative products and sustainable practices. The company is not only a key supplier to the perfume, cosmetics and food industries, but is also actively committed to promoting sustainability and social responsibility within the industry. Overall, Symrise is a major player in fragrance manufacturing, playing a key role in shaping trends and standards in the industry through its innovative solutions, commitment to sustainability and global reach. Symrise has developed a number of innovative fragrances and molecular compounds throughout its history that have found wide application in the perfume industry. Some of these fragrances are particularly noteworthy due to their unique properties and contribution to the creation of perfumes. Here are some examples of such innovative fragrance raw materials developed by Symrise:

Ambrox®: Ambrox is a synthetic substitute for ambergris, a rare and precious fragrance that comes naturally from sperm whales. Ambrox is characterized by its rich, warm and woody scent and is often used in the base notes of perfumes.

Iso E Super: Although not exclusively developed by Symrise (originally introduced by IFF), Symrise has explored its own variations and applications of this popular molecule. Iso E Super is known for its velvety, woody scent and is often used to add depth and warmth to perfumes.

Helvetolide®: This fragrance belongs to the musk family and is known for its clean, modern musk scent with hints of pear and amber. Helvetolide® is valued for its versatility and its ability to give perfumes a velvety texture.

Cranberry Ketone: This compound, synthesized by Symrise, mimics the fresh, fruity scent of cranberries. It is often used to add a vibrant, fruity note to perfumes.

It is important to note that fragrance development is a highly complex process that requires continuous research and innovation. Symrise invests significantly in researching new fragrances and improving existing molecules to meet the ever-changing needs and trends of the perfume industry.

The extensive portfolio

These Symrise fragrances are just a few examples of the company's extensive portfolio. They illustrate Symrise's commitment to innovation and its ability to create novel olfactory experiences that enrich perfume creations around the world. Symrise is also closely involved in the production and development of vanillin, the main aroma component of the vanilla bean. As one of the world's leading suppliers of flavors and fragrances, the company has extensive experience in the production of synthetic flavors, including vanillin. Vanillin is a highly sought-after ingredient in the food and perfume industry due to its rich, sweet and distinctive aroma. In addition to being used in food and beverages, it also finds application in perfumes, personal care products and cleaning products. Symrise produces vanillin through synthetic processes that ensure consistent quality and availability of the flavoring agent, regardless of the fluctuations in the natural vanilla harvest.

A headquarters with history

Symrise's headquarters in Holzminden, Germany, are based on historical and strategic reasons. Holzminden was chosen as a location due to its location in the heart of Germany and its traditional connection to the chemical industry. The region was already a center for flavor and fragrance production before the founding of Symrise, in particular through the activities of predecessor companies Haarmann & Reimer (H&R) and Dragoco. The merger of these two companies in 2003 led to the creation of Symrise, while retaining Holzminden as the central location. The decision to keep the headquarters in Holzminden also reflects the importance of continuity and the commitment to the regional economy. Holzminden is now known as the "City of Fragrances and Flavors", which underlines Symrise's central role in the local community and in the global flavor and fragrance industry. Symrise's presence in Holzminden has led to the development of a highly specialized labor market and promotes innovation in the research and development of fragrances and flavors.
