IFF to expand development centre in Shanghai

Food & beverage, scent and personal care developer IFF has announced that it aims to complete the renovation and expansion of its facilities in Shanghai Hongqiao Airport Business Park, Shanghai, China.

The site will feature a culinary demo kitchen and an instant noodle pilot line. It will include an open-office layout, a sensory science centre, a scent creative centre, and labs set up for creation, design and product analysis.

Expected to be fully operational by the end of August 2024, the 16,000 m2 site, named Shanghai Creative Center, is the company’s largest site in Asia. It aims to drive the development of innovative solutions across the company’s portfolio in China and the Greater Asia market.

Erik Fyrwald, IFF CEO, said: “The Shanghai Creative Center will bring together capabilities across IFF, all in one location, enabling us to improve our delivery of end-to-end solutions for customers in Asia and around the world.

“This was a natural next step following the opening of our Singapore Innovation Center in 2022 and reaffirms our dedication to advancing innovation in Asia.”
