Selling Flavors and Fragrances to Vietnamese manufacturers (Food & Drinks, Cosmetics, Tobacco, etc.).

In 1779, the company was created in Grasse (French Alpes-Maritimes) by a perfumer and merchant who distilled aromatic plants from Provence. Subsequent generations further developed the family business, manufacturing floral pomades and becoming a supplier to the leading Parisian perfumeries at that time.

Jean Niel activities : Production and development of raw materials and ingredients for the fragrance, the cosmetic, and the food and beverage industries.

The company is divided in 3 divisions :
1- Fragrances and Flavors Divisions. Both divisions operate independently and have their own R & D, applications, regulatory, quality, sales and purchasing departments. Each division also has its own separate production area.

2- The Raw Materials Division. The activity of this division serves both internal and external customers.

Vietnam Supply Chain Community is a leading independent and truly not-for-profit platform for supply chain professionals in Vietnam to learn, share, and network effectively. The community objectives are to develop supply chain management awareness and practice in Vietnam, offering learning opportunities to over 10,000 supply chain professionals in Vietnam, and becoming the most dynamic supply chain knowledge sharing center in Vietnam.

The Community was founded in March 2009 with the mission of being the vital link for supply chain and logistics professionals who must stay on top in our fast-growing, ever-changing industry. In maintaining its leading role, the Community meets its objectives of keeping members well informed and conversant with the latest trends, techniques and technology as they affect the manufacturing and retail sectors.

The Community relies heavily on our members and the companies to bring topics, issues and discussions to our attention that will
serve the industry well.

We focus on bringing best values to the supply chain community through a series of innovative event types:
• Workgroup lunches or dinners
• Dialogues
• Networking nights or Talent nights
• Conferences, summits
• Factory tours
• Entertainment events: football tournament..

Why our events are different ?

The Vietnam Supply Chain Community is dedicated to provide:
• Time-Efficient Format: our one-day conferences allow all busy executives to block more easily their time;
• Reasonably Prices: giving the chance to all managers, just not the TOP management, to learn and network in a 5-stars
hotel setting;
• Local Practical Content: all our speakers are strongly encouraged to share interesting, local and practical business
experience.

This focus on actual business experience, rather than theory, along with reasonable prices and time efficiency are the distinguishing features of Community events.
