IFF makes the hidden ingredients in everyday goods—flavors, fragrances, and food additives—that consumers never see but constantly taste and smell.
Revenue comes from selling these specialty chemicals to manufacturers, with gross margins around 37% and thin net margins near 3%, indicating a high-volume, lower-profit business.
IFF's long history and R&D create sticky customer relationships, but competition from Givaudan, Firmenich, and Symrise is intense, and its recent losses suggest the moat is eroding.
