La Maison
“We are confident that each of our creations must inspire a captivating sensory experience and awaken multiple emotions.”
A house of excellence since 1779, Jean Niel embodies age-old expertise. The company has cultivated this rich heritage, and today offers its customers an infinite range of tailor-made flavors and fragrances that satisfy their technical and regulatory requirements. Every day, Jean Niel’s flavourists and perfumers create with talent to reveal the best of nature.
A two-hundred-year history
Jean Niel is one of the oldest fragrance and flavor houses in the world still in activity. Nine generations later, the company is still family-owned and run.
Organization
The Flavors and Fragrances divisions operate independently, each with its own departments (marketing, R&D, applications, legislation, quality, sales and purchasing). This independence enables us to respect the manufacturing processes and regulations specific to each activity, with separate production sites.
Yet we work together as one company. This collaboration enables us to share our knowledge, resources and innovations to offer high-quality products to our customers, while complying with the most stringent standards and meeting the varied needs of our markets.
Jean Niel has an international presence through two flavoring subsidiaries, located in the United States and Thailand. Each of these subsidiaries has R&D and application laboratories, as well as production workshops. For the fragrance division, we have offices in Dubai and Jersey City, USA.
Other regions of the world are managed directly by headquarters or through local agents or representatives.
The de Boutiny family ensured Jean Niel’s financial and industrial independence, leading to its continued growth.
Today, Georges and Marie de Boutiny (9th generation) run the family business. In 2019, Benoît Vittet officially takes over the management of the Fragrance Division.
The new management maintains the values and know-how passed down. Thanks to their dedication and vision, they continue to make Jean Niel a benchmark in its field, while ensuring a promising future for generations to come.
“We are committed to shaping a sustainable future where creativity and quality meet passion.”
