10/18/2025
Swiss-based flavor and fragrance company Givaudan plans to establish operations in Reading, Ohio. The $215 million project is expected to create more than 300 jobs.

The investment will include the construction of a new 100,000-square-foot liquids production facility located on a 25-acre site on West Street. Operations are scheduled to begin in 2027.

“This new facility represents our largest investment in the US in many years, demonstrating the importance of the market to Givaudan and to the food and beverage industry. It is a tangible example of Givaudan’s 2030 strategy in action, strengthening our market and operational presence, extending customer reach, and advancing sustainable, innovative solutions that consumers love,” said Gilles Andrier, Givaudan Chief Executive Officer.

Givaudan creates ingredients for a range of products, including fine fragrances, personal care items, and food and beverages. The company is divided into two segments: Fragrances & Beauty and Taste & Wellbeing.
