15 December 2025 Corporate, Sustainability

Bell sharpens its portfolio and presents new generation of high-purity esters

Bell Flavors & Fragrances EMEAI is further developing its Ingredient Specialities business unit and will operate it under the clearly defined name Aroma Chemicals in the future. The designation underlines the segment’s strategic focus on a transparently structured portfolio that gives customers quick access to suitable molecules for fragrance and flavour applications.

Aroma Chemicals precisely describes the role of the business unit: the development and production of chemical components for fragrances and flavours. These molecules perform essential functions in fragrance profiles and taste modulation. In doing so, they support manufacturers in developing sensorially precise and trend-oriented products. Bell’s portfolio includes esters, citrus derivatives, ship bases and extracts, among others.

For customers, the realignment means: a clearly structured product world, easier orientation and faster ways to find the right solutions.

New generations of high-purity esters

In the course of further development, Bell is also presenting new generations of high-purity esters that impress with their exceptional purity and sensory quality. These are used worldwide in confectionery and baked goods, in household and personal care products as well as in the pharmaceutical industry, for example to mask or improve flavours.

With Aroma Chemicals, we are creating a clear structure for our molecular portfolio and consistently aligning the business unit with the requirements of the market and application. The new ester generations show how we are further strengthening quality, sustainability and market proximity in this segment. Our customers benefit from reliable specifications, quick orientation and a portfolio that directly addresses current requirements.

The further development of the segment is linked to a targeted focus on palm oil-free and organic alternatives as well as the expansion of regional supply chains in Europe. In this way, Bell contributes to the long-term security of supply and economic stability of its partners in the flavor and fragrance industry.
