Danisco, Coopenhagen, Denmark, and Firmenich have entered a global strategic partnership that promises the food industry the combined benefits of their leading taste and texture expertise, including proactive innovation development. The partnership agreement was forged when Danisco divested its flavor division to the Switzerland-based fragrance and flavor company Firmenich earlier this year. The partnership includes a framework for joint development work, both on a proactive basis to bring innovations faster to the market and on specific customer requests.
