Döhler Significantly Expands Flavor Production and Innovation Capabilities in Cartersville, GA
Expanded capabilities for next-generation, clean-label flavor solutions
Döhler, a global leader in technology-driven natural ingredients, ingredient systems, and integrated solutions, announced a significant expansion of its flavor production and innovation capabilities at its Cartersville, Georgia facility. This strategic investment reinforces Döhler’s commitment to delivering high-quality, clean-label solutions that align with evolving consumer preferences across the food, beverage and life science & nutrition industries.
At the core of the expansion is a major upgrade to Döhler’s hydroethanolic (hydroalcoholic) extraction capabilities for botanicals. This enhancement significantly scales the company’s ability to produce premium, natural extracts, supporting growing demand for sophisticated functional ingredient systems and solutions. By leveraging advanced extraction technologies, Döhler can further unlock the full sensory and functional potential of botanicals while maintaining clean-label standards.
In addition, the Cartersville site now features an expanded reaction chemistry platform focused on sweet reaction flavors, pyrazines and natural chemistry. This development enables Döhler to broaden its portfolio of authentic taste solutions, delivering deeper, more complex flavor profiles tailored to modern consumer expectations.
The investment also drives a substantial increase in liquid flavor production capacity and batch sizes, allowing Döhler to respond more efficiently and flexibly to customer needs. With these upgrades, the company is well-positioned to accelerate the development and commercialization of next-generation flavor systems, including new sweet reaction flavors and customized botanical extracts.
Complementing the Cartersville expansion, Döhler continues to strengthen its integrated capabilities across North America. This includes finished beverage processing in New Jersey, as well as the launch of a new emulsion laboratory and CHAIR predictive stability room – further enhancing product development, stability testing and speed-to-market for customers.
Together, these advancements enable Döhler to deliver end-to-end solutions – from extraction and flavor creation to finished beverage applications – while ensuring the highest standards of quality, performance and consistency.
“This expansion represents a key milestone in our ongoing investment in innovation and capacity,” said Paul Graham, Döhler President of Americas. “By enhancing our extraction and reaction capabilities, we are empowering our customers to create differentiated products that meet the growing demand for natural, functional and great-tasting solutions.”
With the Cartersville expansion, Döhler continues to strengthen its position as a trusted partner for brands seeking to innovate and scale in a rapidly evolving marketplace.
