Indenovo - Executive Search & Selection

Ingredients & Flavours

Sector Overview

Ingredients manufacturers and distributors globally are faced with growing demand and an increasingly competitive landscape. As such, companies are challenged with streamlining operational procedures, whilst driving commercial growth and customer experience. The constant demands of such a fluid industry have led to senior business leaders across all sectors to utilise the market expertise and skillsets of Executive Search firms, in order to recruit the very best talent and increase their competitive advantage.

At Indenovo, we have a team of experienced consultants, dedicated to moving talented individuals throughout the Ingredients industry. Our expertise covers all areas of business life, focusing predominantly on mid-level management to Executive and C-Level roles across commercial functions (Sales & Marketing, Business Development, M&A and Product Management), technical functions (Research & Development, Quality, Regulatory Affairs, Health, Safety & Environment) and operational functions (Production, Supply Chain).

Verticals

A growing population with an increasing awareness of health and sustainability is driving a significant shift in consumer preference throughout the Food & Beverage industry. There is not only a need to increase production to cope with soaring demand, but also to minimise the health impact of the products we do consume. Balancing this need for higher but healthier output is the single biggest challenge facing the Food & Beverage industry in modern times.

As we move into the age of the increasingly health-conscious consumer, it is no surprise that the Flavours & Fragrances industries must innovate and adapt in order to meet buyer preference. Natural flavours & fragrances have become an international trend, as companies strive for an all-natural label as well as a sustainable brand. Whilst driving sustainability, both industries remain as vibrant as ever, showcasing outstanding displays of creation to excite and indulge consumers.

What constitutes a healthy, balanced diet? This is a question that continues to dominate mainstream media, as global populations grapple with the challenge of increasing life expectancy. This, combined with recent global events such as the Covid-19 pandemic, has accelerated the international demand for food supplements. As such, the Nutraceutical Ingredients industry faces a significant challenge: Keeping up with the growing demand whilst continuing to bring exciting products and innovative formulations to market.

In order to satisfy the ever-increasing need for innovative drugs and therapeutics in today’s world, the global Pharmaceutical Ingredients industry is a fast-moving market aimed at developing and supplying complex chemical building blocks (intermediates), novel active ingredients (API) and unique drug delivery technologies (excipients), to provide drug manufacturers with the tools needed to consistently improve global health. In a highly regulated market such as the Pharmaceutical Industry, it is imperative that manufacturers and distributors of Pharmaceutical Ingredients maintain the highest quality and regulatory standards, throughout the production, storage and transport of products.

The rate of modern globalisation is the greatest threat to the world as we know it. Depleted resources and environmental transformations have meant that there has never been so much importance placed on sustainable farming. Reducing the environmental impact of farming on the planet is perhaps the most significant challenge the Animal Health & Nutrition market has faced to date. Ground-breaking development across the industry (vaccines, feed additives & pet food) continues to combat these challenges, but the need for top talent and creative thinking has never been so apparent.

Shifting consumer values and increasingly complex supply chains mean that adaptability is at the forefront of business minds across the Cosmetic, Personal & Home Care sectors. No supplier is immune from these complexities, with the average consumer now more focused on ethically and sustainably sourced products than ever before. As such, the challenge to identify suitable ingredients increases year on year. Alongside changing consumer demands, an increasingly globalised and interconnected world brings additional pressures from international regulatory bodies and stakeholders, thus driving alternative ingredient technologies and improved supply chain solutions.
