Corporate Partnerships
Nestlé SA
Our collaboration with Nestlé, the world's largest food company, began in April 2002 for the discovery of flavors and flavor enhancers for dehydrated and culinary food, frozen food, and wet soup. The collaborative research phase was extended in April 2005 for an additional three years. In October 2004, we entered into a second agreement for coffee and coffee whitener products. In March 2006, the original agreement was expanded to include the pet food category, and amended to allow Senomyx to reacquire rights to certain of its flavor ingredients in certain geographic regions. In June 2007, Nestlé began marketing products that contain one of Senomyx's flavor ingredients.
