Last Updated: June 15, 2023
On November 4, 2023, the names of the IFF subsidiary legal entities listed below were officially changed, and IFF-owned systems and system-generated documents were updated accordingly. We kindly request that any sales orders and invoices issued to these impacted entities reflect their new subsidiary legal entity names.
While we deplete existing inventory and finish implementing manual changes, packaging materials and manually generated documents may display both the DuPont and IFF subsidiary legal entity names and logos. We hereby confirm that all DuPont and IFF subsidiary legal entity names and logos are valid and can be accepted as usual.
Please note that the name changes were only executed for existing subsidiary legal entities, and no new legal entities were created. Furthermore, all identifying characteristics including bank account number, taxpayer identification, and address remained unchanged‡.
If you have any questions, concerns, or challenges that we should know about, please reach out to your account representative as soon as possible.
Notes:
‡Updates unrelated to the name and logo changes have been made to corporate office addresses and bank accounts for certain subsidiary legal entities. IFF N&H Norway AS (f/k/a DuPont Nutrition Norge) and International N&H Kenya Limited (f/k/a DuPont de Nemours Kenya Limited) are now registered in Vormedal and Nairobi, respectively. Additionally, bank account information for IFF N&H Germany GmbH & Co. KG (f/k/a DDP Specialty Products Germany GmbH & Co. KG) has been updated. Customers impacted by this change have been directly contacted.
*“Logo change” refers to the removal of DuPont logo or other references to a DuPont name on labels, packaging, documents, or other collateral. Logos and other references to IFF-owned brands (e.g., Solae, Danisco, Genencor) have not changed.
