Symrise AG is a global supplier of flavors, fragrances, cosmetic ingredients and nutritional solutions. Established in 2003 through the merger of Haarmann & Reimer and Dragoco, the company has since built a reputation for innovation in sensorial and functional ingredients across food, beverage, personal care and pet food markets. With a focus on both natural and nature-derived components, Symrise caters to brand owners seeking tailored sensory experiences and appealing product attributes.
The company operates two main divisions: Flavor & Nutrition and Scent & Care. Flavor & Nutrition offers a wide range of taste modulation products, savory and sweet flavors, as well as functional and nutritional solutions that support health and wellness trends. Scent & Care delivers fragrances for fine fragrance, personal care and household products, alongside cosmetic active ingredients designed to address skin and hair care needs. Extensive research and development activities are conducted at innovation centers around the world to support these offerings.
Over its history, Symrise has pursued strategic acquisitions and partnerships to broaden its portfolio and enhance regional strengths. Notable transactions include the acquisition of Diana Group’s natural ingredients business and the takeover of Belmay Fragrances, reinforcing its position in natural specialty ingredients and fine fragrances. These moves have complemented the company’s in-house biotech and natural extraction capabilities, underpinning its sustainability and quality standards.
Headquartered in Holzminden, Germany, Symrise maintains a global footprint with production sites and sales offices across Europe, the Americas and the Asia-Pacific region. The company is led by CEO Heinz-Jürgen Bertram, supported by an executive board responsible for finance, research, sustainability and business development. Through its integrated approach to innovation, sustainability and customer collaboration, Symrise continues to strengthen its role in the sensory and nutrition markets worldwide.
