What happens when know-how meets no limits?
Every great idea starts with a spark. For over a hundred years, you've known us as David Michael, Ottens Flavors and Frutarom Flavors. You've been there as we've led the industry with service and innovation. These trusted names came together to create a united company that's nimble, adaptable and resourceful. It's a fusion of skill and soul. A connection that brings people together to build a unique presence and perspective in the world of taste. We're a company powered by passion, enhanced with the technology and insights of International Flavors & Fragrances, Inc.
IFF is a leading innovator of sensorial experiences that move the world. At the heart of the company, IFF is fueled by a sense of discovery, constantly asking "what if?" In 2015, that question led to the acquisition of Ottens Flavors, a Philadelphia-based company, revered for its rich history, world-class capabilities, diverse flavor technologies and above all, outstanding customer service. The following year, IFF acquired David Michael & Company, well-known in the industry for its vanilla expertise, strength in the Dairy and Beverage categories, and relationships with dynamic, fast-growing middle-market customers.
The acquisition of Frutarom in 2018 enabled us to complete a series of strategic growth initiatives to expand Tastepoint's footprint in North America; now servicing customers nationwide with even more unique capabilities and taste solutions, including the addition of Frutarom's expertise in beverage bases and emulsions.
A sequence of "What ifs?" made the vision of merging strong, like-minded companies a reality. From this foundation, we have become the leader in the fast-growing mid-tier, working alongside you as your preferred product development partner. With four locations, including our new west coast creative center and manufacturing site, Tastepoint is now even closer, no matter where you are. Upgrades across all our facilities allow us to solve your challenges in new, extraordinary ways - whether at our site or yours.
Tastepoint is revolutionizing taste, and with the perfect blend of heart and science, we are here to move you forward.
