Robertet S.A. is a France-based global leader in the production and distribution of natural raw materials for fragrances, flavors, and active ingredients for health and beauty products. Founded in 1850 and headquartered in Grasse, France, the company operates through four main segments: perfume compositions and bases; food flavors; natural flavor ingredients; and ingredients for health and beauty products. Robertet manufactures and sells a broad range of products including liquid flavorings, perfumes, natural aromatic raw materials, and cosmetic active ingredients, with a commercial footprint spanning France, Europe, the United States, and emerging markets such as India and Southeast Asia.
The company has expanded its product and geographic scope recently through strategic acquisitions, including the purchase of Phasex, a U.S.-based pioneer in supercritical CO2 extraction technology, and Sonarome, a key player in the Indian flavor market. Robertet also acquired Aroma Esencial in Spain and strengthened its supply chain with Astier Demarest and Omega Ingredients to boost its natural and sustainable flavor offerings. In addition, Robertet has launched innovative product ranges like ActiScents™, cosmetic fragrances with active natural cores, and cleanRscent eco-designed absolutes, reflecting a strong commitment to sustainability and green chemistry.
Recent major shareholder restructuring in late 2024 introduced Fonds Stratégique de Participations and Peugeot Invest as significant investors, supporting the company’s vision for international growth and innovation in natural raw materials. Robertet continues to promote sustainable agricultural practices and reduce its carbon footprint through advanced farming techniques and processing technologies. The company operates 31 production sites worldwide and generated annual revenues exceeding €850 million in 2024, demonstrating strong sales growth in perfumery and flavor sectors across major regions.
Robertet targets fragrance and flavor industries, food and beverage manufacturers, and health and beauty product companies globally, leveraging its heritage in natural ingredients and technological innovation to maintain market leadership. The company's recent strategic focus on expanding natural extraction methods, sustainability certification, and international presence underscores its ongoing transformation as a frontrunner in naturals-based ingredients and specialty raw materials.
