IFF completes acquisition of David Michael

International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (IFF), a New York-based provider of flavors and fragrances for food, beverages, health and beauty items, and household products, said it successfully completed the acquisition of David Michael & Company Inc., Philadelphia.

Founded in 1896, David Michael is well-known in the industry for its vanilla expertise, strength in the dairy and beverage categories, and relationships with dynamic faster-growing middle-market customers, IFF said.

With the completion of the acquisition, IFF will begin the process of merging David Michael and IFF-Ottens Flavors, acquired in 2015, to further reinforce its differentiated service model in the United States for middle-market customers, thus driving growth and strengthening its North American flavors business, the company added.
