Amyris is embarking on a new collaboration with Givaudan. The two companies have been engaged in the research and development of proprietary fragrance ingredients for several years, and the significantly expanded partnership reinforces the diversity and value of Amyris’s R&D platform and manufacturing capabilities to customers.
During the collaboration, Amyris will use its strain engineering platform to design cosmetic active targets, and scale them up for global commercialisation at Amyris’s manufacturing facility in Brotas, Brazil.
The companies anticipate the launch of the target products in the coming years will have advantages over existing ingredients.
“We are very pleased with our ongoing partnership with Amyris.
As our company continues to look for innovative and sustainable solutions to availability and cost challenges, we are expanding the relationship to apply Amyris’s technology to a whole new field,” said Maurizio Volpi, president of Givaudan’s Fragrance Division.
“We are excited to be working with Givaudan to solve supply challenges and deliver sustainable innovation in cosmetic actives. We are very pleased with the Givaudan commitment to innovation and its leadership in delivering breakthrough advancements in Active Cosmetics,” said John Melo, Amyris president & chief executive officer.
