About

Company description

Founded in Milan in 1947, SACMAR is an independent Italian company specialising in flavours, food solutions, essential oils, botanical extracts and aromatic raw materials.

Nearly 80 years of experience, combined with research, application expertise and flexible industrial production, enable SACMAR to support food and beverage manufacturers in turning ideas, ingredients and sensory objectives into reliable, market-ready products.

In 2021, the acquisition of SELVANIA — an Italian company specialising in creams and technological solutions for the food industry — marked an important step in SACMAR’s development. The integration brought together complementary expertise, production capabilities and product portfolios under a single organisation.

Today, SACMAR operates according to a One Company vision: one partner providing integrated expertise in flavours, food solutions and aromatic raw materials. This approach creates synergies across research, formulation, application testing and industrial production, while giving customers access to a broader and more coordinated range of solutions.

The flavour portfolio includes liquid and powder solutions, water- and fat-soluble flavours, natural profiles, taste modulators, concentrated flavour building blocks and tailor-made developments. These solutions are designed for applications including bakery, confectionery, dairy and desserts, beverages, nutraceuticals and oral care.

The food solutions portfolio includes filling creams, emulsifiers, whipping agents, release agents, glazing and gilding products, colouring and characterising pastes, as well as functional vegan, sugar-free and egg-free systems. The offering is completed by selected essential oils, botanical extracts and aromatic raw materials sourced through a qualified international supply network.

Customers are supported throughout the development process with co-development, benchmark adaptation, reverse engineering, application testing, analytical control, regulatory assistance and contract manufacturing. Around 30% of the SACMAR team is dedicated to technical activities, ensuring responsive, flexible and application-focused support.

With two production sites, a production area of 7,350 m², more than 190 suppliers worldwide and over 4,000 tonnes of annual production, SACMAR combines the responsiveness of a privately owned company with solid industrial capabilities and an international outlook.

Operations follow FSSC 22000 standards, while certified products—including Kosher, Halal, Organic, Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade options—are available upon request.

Through its One Company model, SACMAR offers a single point of contact for the development and production of integrated flavour and food solutions, combining Italian know-how, technical flexibility and industrial reliability.
