We Apply Science And Creativity For A Better World.

With the beauty of art and the precision of science, we are an international collective of thinkers who partner with customers to bring scents, tastes, experiences, ingredients and solutions for products the world craves.

As a global leader in food, beverage, scent, home and personal care, and health, we do a lot and continually innovate to do it better.

For more than 130 years we’ve been focused on finding the most innovative solutions to help bring “better for you” products to market. While we have grown over the years, we remain agile in our approach and put our customers’ needs at the forefront of our thinking.

We offer end-to-end service that few can deliver on. Our unparalleled product portfolio is the most robust in the industry and we have leadership positions across key taste, texture, scent, nutrition, enzymes, cultures, soy proteins and probiotics categories.

Chr. Hansen and Novozymes have joined forces to create Novonesis, a leading biosolutions partner.

Novonesis means "a new beginning." It's derived from the Greek word "genesis," and that’s what we offer: a new beginning based on the power of biology.

It’s time for change. For food systems that deliver more, healthier food. For better health from the beginning of life right through to old age. And for a healthy planet for generations to come. It’s time for the era of biosolutions.

Tiny but mighty enzymes, functional proteins and microbes enable change in all living things. We put that transformational power at the core of our biosolutions to help solve some of humanity’s biggest challenges.

We may be a new company, but we’ve got a big head start thanks to more than a century of experience from Chr. Hansen and the Novo Group. And we bring together 10,000 people with a passion for change.

Through our knowledge and dedication, we’ll help our customers and partners transform production and consumption.

Smithers is excited to partner with The Latin America Association of Cleaning Products Industry (ALIADA) for the 2022 event. More information on ALIADA coming soon!
