DAVID MICHAEL & COMPANY
What happens when know-how meets no limits? Every great idea starts with a spark. For over a hundred years, you’ve known us as David Michael and Ottens Flavors. You’ve been there as we’ve led the industry with service and innovation. Now these trusted names have come together to create a united company that’s nimble, adaptable and resourceful. It’s a fusion of skill and soul. A connection that brings people together and results in something new and better. Tastepoint is a new perspective from the same people that made David Michael and Ottens Flavors exceptional. We’re a company powered by passion, enhanced with the technology and insights of International Flavors & Fragrances, Inc. IFF is a leading innovator of sensorial experiences that move the world. At the heart of the company, IFF is fueled by a sense of discovery, constantly asking “what if?” In 2015, that question led to the acquisition of Ottens Flavors, a Philadelphia-based company, revered for its rich history, world-class capabilities, diverse flavor technologies and above all, outstanding customer service. The following year, IFF acquired David Michael & Company, well-known in the industry for its vanilla expertise, strength in the Dairy and Beverage categories, and relationships with dynamic, fast-growing middle-market customers. A sequence of "What ifs?" made the vision of merging two strong, like-minded companies a reality. David Michael and IFF-Ottens Flavors have come together, and with the perfect blend of heart and science, we are here to move you forward.
