Nactis Flavours

LISTEN, SEDUCE, INNOVATE, NACTIS ANTICIPATES THE DEVELOPMENT OF ITS CLIENTS 1. Innovation: an essential route for development The food market is characterized by the need to have more rapid preparations, the desire for a more opened consumption, the possibility to have a greater choice whilst respecting pleasure and health. Perfumery demands originality, « surprise », and creativity. To stand out, Nactis combines creativity, expertise and flexibility whilst striving to reduce risks and control investments. 2. Research & Development: the long-term factor of success In each of the three sectors of the group, flavours, ingredients and perfumes, the size of the Research & Development is essential. The investments in R&D represent nearly 5% of the group’s turnover. The group’s Research & Development laboratories, equipped with modern means of investigation are supported by control laboratories, allowing us to check the quality of incoming raw materials and to test our products before they reach the marketplace. R&D employs 30 people including 12 flavourists and perfumers and 3 process/pilot engineers. Partnerships between the Research & Development laboratories and technical centres (Agro ParisTech in Massy, CGV in Amiens, Chemistry Faculty of Orleans) complete the organization.
