Because of focus, more professional

Solvay is a Belgian chemical group founded in 1863 and headquartered in Brussels, Belgium

Natural product families such as Vanifolia® 21, 36 and 51 are also designed to provide functional optimizations such as excellent solubility, thermal stability and flow properties for formulated product applications such as chocolate and nutraceuticals

Facing challenges and being innovative, expanding the market without sticking to one pattern

Solvay has been producing synthetic vanillin for more than 130 years and is one of the world's leading suppliers of vanillin

In the past few years, the production of vanillin often contained o-nitrochlorobenzene, toluene, and chlorine and other ingredients that pose a greater risk to food safety

When it comes to corporate development, social responsibility will inevitably be involved, to which Liu Yang said frankly: “As a company develops, it is necessary to actively undertake corresponding social responsibilities.

China is an important market for Solvay's Fragrance and Functional Chemicals division, and the market volume is currently growing at a rate of 4% to 5% per year
