"I am pleased to announce that over the next three years we expect to invest a significant portion of our capital expenditure in Greater Asia," said IFF Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Doug Tough.

Both sites will be located near the existing IFF sites, where the Guangzhou site will be dedicated to flavors production while the facility in Singapore will be used for both flavor and fragrance production. IFF currently has sales, manufacturing and creative facilities in 32 countries worldwide.
