Dolf DeRovira, a flavor chemist since 1972 with a strong reputation in the flavor industry, founded Flavor Dynamics, Inc. in 1989 when he felt the need to strike out on his own. "I had worked within the industry for a long time and as my career progressed I began forming my own opinions about how a flavor company should operate.  I thought that I could institute policies based on my observations and run an innovative, professional enterprise more effectively than the competition."

Mr. DeRovira set up shop in a small Somerset, New Jersey plant with just five employees - several of whom remain to this day.  The company made a quick splash in the industry with its popular beverage and savory flavorings, so much so that they had outgrown their original plant within just three years.

By 1999, Flavor Dynamics was bursting beyond the limitations of their second plant and the move was made to their present location in South Plainfield, New Jersey.  This new facility includes enough space to allow FDI's entire operation - from research and development, production, and quality control through sales and customer service - to be located under one roof. 

Over time, Flavor Dynamics has gradually expanded into nearly all segments of the flavor industry, from simple food and beverage flavors to more complicated masking flavors for difficult pharmaceutical, nutraceutical or microwave applications. Members of our staff have held prestigious posts within several trade organizations, including the Society of Flavor Chemists, the Chemical Sources Association, the Specialty Coffee Association of America and the Research Chefs Association. FDI has also made an impact on the future of the flavor industry by creating educational and technological tools, as well as through leading a variety of professional seminars.

Moving into the future, Flavor Dynamics hopes to continue its growth and expansion while holding on to its small-business, customer service-oriented approach. We feel strongly that our successful future is dependant upon remembering the core values and methods we have developed in the past.
