The company
We are a leading creator and manufacturer of products for application in food, beverage, health & biosciences, and scent, as well as complementary adjacent products, including natural health ingredients, all of which are used in a wide variety of consumer and end-use products. Our products are sold principally to manufacturers of dairy, meat, beverages, snacks, savory, sweet, baked goods, grain processors and other foods, personal care products, soaps and detergents, cleaning products, perfumes, dietary supplements, food protection, infant, elderly and animal nutrition, functional food, bio-fuel, and oral care products. As a result, we hold global leadership positions in the Food & Beverage, Home & Personal Care and Health & Wellness markets, and across key Tastes, Textures, Scents, Nutrition, Enzymes, Cultures, Soy Proteins and Probiotics categories, among others. Sales in 2025 were $10.890 billion. Our business is geographically diverse, with sales in the U.S. representing approximately 28% of sales in 2025. No other country represented more than 10% of sales. In 2025, no customer accounted for 10% or more of sales. During the year ended December 31, 2025, our business consisted of five segments: Taste, Food Ingredients, Health & Biosciences, Scent and, until the completion of the divestitures of both the Pharma Solutions and Nitrocellulose disposal groups in May 2025, Pharma Solutions. Effective January 1, 2025, our former Nourish segment was restructured into two newly designated operating segments: Taste and Food Ingredients.
