About our latest investment
Our most recent investment includes a new citral plant as part of our Verbund site in Zhanjiang, China, as well as menthol and linalool downstream plants at our Verbund site in Ludwigshafen, Germany.
These plants are expected to come on stream from 2026 onwards. With this investment, we will further expand and diversify our existing aroma ingredients' citral value chain footprint to support our customers' growth opportunities. The citral plant in China will strengthen our position in key growth regions and increase production of a broad range of aroma ingredients and further downstream products globally.
