What Agan Aroma does

Agan Aroma is an Israel-based specialty chemical manufacturer that produces aroma ingredients and pheromones for the global Flavors & Fragrances (F&F) industry. Founded in 1982 and operating for more than 40 years, the company offers a catalog of branded specialty molecules — including Heliogan NP, Ganone, Ganolid, Delta Damascone, Aganleaf, Aganile, Amberonne, Atralone, and the AstroMusk family of musk variants — spanning floral, green, fruity, musky, woody, geranium, oak moss, and rose odor profiles. Products are sold as defined chemical compounds (with CAS numbers, empirical formulas, and assay specifications) in industrial package sizes of 20–1,000 KGS, targeting professional and consumer fragrance manufacturers.

The company is a fully owned subsidiary of ADAMA Agricultural Solutions (publicly listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange), which provides access to ADAMA's production facilities in Israel and Asia, its global raw-material purchasing network, supply-chain infrastructure, R&D team, and regulatory registration capabilities. Agan Aroma's stated differentiation rests on 40+ years of accumulated formulation expertise, proprietary production processes, close ties to academic research centers in Israel and abroad, and a partnership with Firmenich/Innovaroma for the co-production and marketing of Delta Damascone. Distribution is conducted through its own commercial channels and via collaborations with partners across Europe, Asia, and the United States. No external funding, named end-customers, or disclosed revenue figures are publicly available; the company operates with 11–50 employees.
