IFF Food Ingredients

Propelled into a new era of independence by its $4.3 billion acquisition by CVC Partners, IFF Food Ingredients is a pillar of the global food and agriculture industry. Formed through the integration of IFF’s historic assets and DuPont’s Nutrition & Biosciences division, the company has established itself as the undisputed leader in specialty functional ingredients. Its product portfolio addresses the complex challenges faced by manufacturers: improving texture, extending shelf life, and stabilizing complex formulations, particularly in plant-based alternatives and dairy products. By separating from its parent company IFF (which retains a 10% stake), the company has gained operational agility and investment capacity under CVC leadership. It is ideally positioned to capitalize on the growth of the “clean-label” market (ingredients of natural origin that are clearly identifiable) and to meet the structural increase in global food consumption, while optimizing its manufacturing facilities on an international scale.
