(IFF) is a U.S.-based corporation that develops a wide range of products in the areas of taste, texture, fragrance, nutrition, enzymes, cultures, soy proteins, and probiotics, which it distributes on a global scale. The company is headquartered in New York City and operates creative, sales, and manufacturing facilities in 44 countries. IFF is also listed on the S&P 500 index.
IFF was established in 1958 through the merger of Polak & Schwarz (P&S) and van Ameringen-Haebler. Polak & Schwarz was originally founded in 1889 by Leopold Schwarz, who had a passion for spices, flavors, and fragrances, along with his brother-in-law, Joseph Polak, in the small Dutch town of Zutphen. The company rapidly expanded to 36 locations worldwide. In 1917, Arnold Louis (A.L.) van Ameringen was recruited by Polak & Schwarz to establish the U.S. office, but he later left the company. Following his departure, he founded van Ameringen & Co. at 13 Gold Street in Manhattan, acquired Morana, Inc. in 1920, and subsequently rebranded as van Ameringen-Haebler (VAH) in 1929.
