Melchers Flavors of America

Since 1965 Melchers has acted in the flavor business as an exclusive agent for famous flavor houses.

In the following years Melchers developed its own flavor profile and became on of the major manufacturers of flavors for tea. In the early 1980's Melchers started serving the US coffee industry with a various range of gourmet flavors (Hazelnut, Vanilla, Irish Cream) Therefore Melchers was one of the pioneers in this specialized market. Today this business has spread out over the nation and is becoming popular in Europe.

In the year 1985 the Melchers Productions-GmbH was founded in Bremen and a new factory was built in 1990 according to all legal and customer requirements needed for modern production of flavors and fragrances.

Because of the strong American market in the area of flavoring roasted coffee, in 1994 Melchers established another production plant in Cincinnati, Ohio. This has enabled Melchers to produce high quality flavors domestically for the US market.
