  • In 2014, Givaudan acquired Soliance, a French company specializing in active ingredients for the cosmetics industry.
  • In 2019, it added Drom, a German fragrance company, which allowed Givaudan to expand its capabilities in the creation of fragrances for various applications, including personal care.
  • In July 2024, Givaudan acquired b.kolormakeup & skincare to continue increasing our exposure and capabilities in beauty with a focus on make-up.
