Investment and Expansion
IFF has invested €10 million to expand its LMR Naturals site in Grasse, increasing the facility's footprint by 75% to 4,687 square meters. This expansion includes a state-of-the-art pilot hall designed to accelerate the development of new natural ingredients.
Research and Development
The upgraded site brings together over 30 research and development experts, enhancing IFF's ability to meet the growing global demand for traceable, sustainable, and high-quality natural ingredients. A newly completed experimental field nearby provides direct access to plant materials, enabling deeper exploration of botanical potential.
Product Launch and Sustainability
With the expanded site now fully operational, IFF plans to launch four to six new products each year, focusing on sustainability. The site has dual certifications, For Life and Zero Waste to Landfill, and a waste valorization rate of at least 98%.
