This move is intended to strengthen the Geneva-based group\u2019s technology portfolio across its fine fragrance and beauty care divisions.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"news-image\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:735px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/8ce9.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/> Givaudan<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-md-8 offset-md-1 article-content--texte\">The precision microencapsulation technology developed by Microcaps extends the longevity of fragrances, thereby enhancing the consumer experience. This expertise is particularly geared towards the technical segment of alcohol-free fine fragrance products.<\/p>\n<p>The Zurich-based company, a spin-out from a research group at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, is underpinned by a first-of-its-kind industrial microfluidic platform, and has recently launched the patented PerfumePearls solution designed for this mode of delivery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-md-8 offset-md-1 article-content--texte\">&#8216;The partnership with Microcaps is a strategic step that further strengthens our innovation capabilities,&#8217; said Maurizio Volpi, president of fragrance and beauty. For Jeremy Compton, the group\u2019s director of fragrance science and technology, encapsulation is one of the most transformative technologies in our field.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By combining Givaudan\u2019s extensive expertise in fragrance creation and innovation with our commitment to collaborate with Microcaps and its cutting-edge technologies,&#8221; he noted, &#8220;we will be able to explore new avenues to enhance performance and sustainability for the benefit of consumers across a wide range of fragrance and skincare applications.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For its part, the Swiss company co-founded by Alessandro Ofner and Michael Hagander sees this alliance as a powerful growth driver to deploy its patented technology. &#8220;This collaboration allows us to further develop our technology and bring scientific precision to a broader market.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Givaudan Group, which employs more than 17,500 people worldwide, generated sales of 7.5 billion Swiss francs (8.24 billion euros) and delivered free cash flow equal to 14.1% of its revenue in the financial year 2025.
