USA – Prinova Aromas, part of the NAGASE Group, has completed a significant upgrade of its New Jersey facility as part of efforts to expand its role in the global market for flavor and fragrance ingredients.
The improvements, which have been underway for two years, focus on streamlining logistics, upgrading essential oil processing capabilities, and centralizing global functions such as research and development, regulatory compliance, and quality control.
New state-of-the-art laboratories have been added to the site, which became fully operational in September 2024.
This investment shows Prinova’s ongoing focus on providing improved services to its customers, increasing distribution and logistics efficiency, and introducing new product innovations.
Bill Palagonia, President of Prinova Aromas, highlighted that the company’s focus is on improving the services offered to its customers, who are central to its operations.
He noted that the new global aromas headquarters will provide enhanced technical capabilities, stricter quality-control testing, increased distribution capacity, and stronger supply chain security.
Palagonia expressed pride in the team’s efforts in building this facility, which will offer significant benefits to their customers.
