IFF, an innovator of taste, scent, and nutrition, has opened its Center of Excellence for Foodservice and Seasonings in Carrollton, Texas. The new site, located near the company’s existing facility, greatly expands its ability to provide innovative offerings to its customers and represents a significant investment into its foodservice strategy, as well as its value-add seasonings and savory solutions.
“With last year’s acquisition of Frutarom, our teams have been working to leverage the increased offerings, such as colors, inclusions, nutritional ingredients, and natural food protection, to the benefit of our customers,” said IFF Taste CEO Matthias Haeni. “The new site, with more space, state-of-the-art culinary equipment, and a beautiful customer co-creation space, will allow us to bring more of our resources to the fore and greatly expand innovation in this strategic area of growth.”
IFF has had a presence in Carrollton since its acquisition of Bush Boake Allen (BBA) in 2000, when the original site catered primarily more to local customers. The former BBA facility will be used as an expanded manufacturing site. With the additional space, equipment, and capabilities, and leveraging its central location, the company foresees growing its customer base in the United States.
The latest research from Mintel shows that after several years of growth, the foodservice industry is expected to decline by up to 30% from 2019 to 2020, following nationwide dine-in bans/restrictions, restaurant closures, job losses, and lowered consumer confidence.
