IFF Opens Fermentation-Based Enzyme Hub in Argentina, Adds Brazil Care Lab
IFF transformed its Arroyito site into its first fully fermentation-based enzyme hub in Latin America, enabling local production from initial biological stages. It opened a care application lab in Brazil to accelerate enzyme testing for laundry, dishwashing and enhance solutions for brewing, animal nutrition, biofuels and home care.
1. Enzyme Production Hub Established in Argentina
IFF has converted its Arroyito site in Argentina into its first fully fermentation-based enzyme production hub in Latin America. The facility now handles enzyme production from the initial biological stage, which improves performance reliability, accelerates processing efficiency and reduces environmental impact under real-world manufacturing conditions.
2. Brazil Household Care Application Laboratory
The new household care application laboratory at IFF’s Brazil Innovation Center enables customers to evaluate and optimize enzyme formulations for laundry and dishwashing under regional conditions. This lab supports faster testing cycles, more accurate formulations and closer collaboration with local home care manufacturers developing next-generation cleaning products.
3. Strategic Impact on Latin American Growth
These investments reinforce IFF’s commitment to the fast-growing Latin American Health & Biosciences market, where demand for bioscience-enabled solutions is rising across brewing, animal nutrition, biofuels and home care. By expanding local production and innovation capabilities, IFF aims to improve speed and reliability of supply while capturing new growth opportunities.
