IFF International Flavors & Fragrances, fragrance manufacturer
IFF International Flavors & Fragrances is an American flavoring and fragrance manufacturer. It was founded in 1958 by the merger of van Ameringen-Heabler and Polak & Schwarz. Polak & Schwarz was founded by Joseph Polak and Leopold Schward in 1889 and produced concentrated fruit juices in Zutphen, a small Dutch town.

In 1929 he later started his own company, van Ameringen-Haebler, with colleague Dr. William T. Haebler.
