Syensqo remains at the forefront of meeting the ever-growing global demand for food and beverage ingredients, flavors and fragrances and food packaging solutions that align with the latest consumer preferences, such as the demand for more natural ingredients and clean labels.

We continue to emphasize reducing environmental impact and optimizing resource efficiency while catering to the desire for healthier, safer and more natural food and flavor ingredients.

More than 140 years of legacy in the flavor field

Syensqo’s journey in the flavor industry began with the first mass production and commercialization of synthetic vanillin in 1884—Rhône-Poulenc, and later Rhodia—marking the beginning of a legacy in flavor and food products supply. This historic operation would ultimately join Solvay in 2011, solidifying over 140 years as a market leader and pioneer. Today, Syensqo continues this tradition by offering a diverse portfolio of synthetic vanillin, natural vanillin and ethyl vanillin solutions, addressing the increasing consumer demand for affordable, cleaner, more natural ingredients for food and beverage markets, as well as for the flavor and fragrance industry.

In addition, Syensqo is a key player in the packaging industry, supplying a wide range of high-performance polymer solutions for various food contact wraps, packages and other applications. Our portfolio includes water-based gas and vapor barrier coatings and plastics for films, casings and bottles.
