We are working on building a family tree of the flavor industry. This was an idea from Dolf DeRovira and Mike Bloom coming to fruition. If you have information regarding mergers and acquisitions of flavor companies, please add dates to the spreadsheet. You can also add new flavor companies that have been created with their dates and owners. Here is the link to the spreadsheet.

Please email your responses directly to Dolf at dolfd@flavordynamics.com.
Thank you for your support in this endeavor.
