Givaudan, a Switzerland-based flavor and fragrance maker, purchased land in West Harrison, Indiana, for a planned $215 million liquid-production plant. The company said the 258,000-square-foot site on the Indiana–Ohio border is intended to increase its capacity for liquid products and support closer collaboration with food and beverage customers, and that the project will create more than 250 jobs for the greater Cincinnati area.
