Dr. Heinz-Jürgen Bertram, CEO of Symrise AG, said,
« Having our own site in the region underlines our dedication to Iranian customers and this attractive market. We are thus a step ahead of many other international companies. Iran's location between Europe, Russia and the Persian Gulf States makes this country an important trading hub. This opens a variety of trading opportunities for the future - also with Asia. »

« The population of roughly 80 million is well educated with a healthy demographic distribution of 50 percent under the age of 30.

The total market potential in this area is estimated to be more than € 100 million, »
