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.

Givaudan said construction is scheduled to begin in 2026 and partial operations are expected to start in 2028. The company is coordinating the project with Dearborn County officials, the Indiana Economic Development Corp., One Dearborn Economic Development and REDI Cincinnati, and it is working with local partners to identify workers while arranging to transfer its former Reading, Ohio property for other economic development uses.
