Danisco, Firmenich Enter Global Strategic Partnership

NEW CENTURY, Kan.Danisco and Firmenich (www.Firmenich.com) have entered a global strategic partnership that combines their taste and texture proficiency, including proactive innovation development. The partnership agreement was launched when Danisco divested its flavor division to the Switzerland-based fragrance and flavor company, Firmenich, earlier this year. Since then, the two companies have been working on detailed plans for operating the partnership in 2008. This unique partnership between innovation leaders in food ingredients and flavors is a win-win situation for our customers. It gives us every opportunity to provide complete food solutions while maintaining flexibility for our customers, said Ole Søgaard, chief sales and application officer, Danisco (www.Danisco.com).
