The Frutarom Group is a flavor and ingredients company based in Haifa, Israel. The company develops, manufactures, and markets an extensive variety of flavors and ingredients catered to customers in a range of industries around the world. Frutarom operates through two major divisions:
Frutarom was established by Yehuda Araten and Maurice Gerzon, two industrialists from the Netherlands in 1933. They chose to build their first plant in an almost desert-like area between Haifa and Acco in Israel, making Frutarom one of Israel's earliest industrial enterprises. In 1952, Frutarom became a subsidiary of the newly established Electrochemical Industries (Frutarom) Ltd (EIF). By 1973 ICC Industries, owned by Dr. John J. Farber, became the controlling party of EIF and Frutarom. Since the 1990s, Frutarom has expanded by establishing itself overseas beginning with the acquisition of a small US company in 1990. Frutarom now has subsidiaries in Israel, the United States, the UK, Switzerland, Russia, Turkey, China, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Peru and Germany, plus marketing offices in France, Romania, India, and Hong Kong. [8] [9] [10]

While numerous calls were placed to the city's 311 non-emergency complaint hotline on days when the odor was noticed by New Yorkers, the Mayor and the New York City Department of Environmental Protection have determined that the smell is not harmful. [13]
