Danisco has its own factory in China, where ingredients including emulsifiers and functional systems for the food industry are produced. The group described sales as “roaring – net sales in China are at a three-digit million DKK figure and sales were up by 100% last year”. On the basis of this, Danisco is opening a flavour factory in Kunshan, China.


Stephen Catling, President, Danisco Flavours, said: “I have great expectations for our future flavour sales in China. The country is an emerging market for us. We have successfully entered the Chinese market with our other ingredients, and we are going to use our customer access to sell flavours as well.”


Today, China is a US$500m flavour market, growing at 7% – one of the fastest rates in the world. All major flavour houses are present in China.
