Swiss Flavours Sia

What Swiss Flavours Sia does

Swiss Flavours Sia is a privately held Latvian B2B food ingredients manufacturer and trader founded in 2007, headquartered in Babīte near Riga. The company produces and distributes a portfolio of four core product lines: natural colours (water- and oil-soluble forms including annatto, carmine, curcumin, beta carotene, anthocyanins and caramel, plus clean-label colouring foodstuffs from fruit, vegetable and spice extracts); in-house sweet and savoury flavours in liquid and powder form; a SwissStab range of stabilizing systems (hydrocolloid/emulsifier blends) segmented into G-line (ice cream), D-line (dairy and beverages), F-line (sauces and meat) and B-line (bakery); and porcine and bovine gelatin with customizable bloom strength, viscosity and mesh size. Manufacturing takes place at an FSSC 22000-certified facility in Latvia, and products are sold to food manufacturers across confectionery, bakery, dairy, ice cream, beverage, sauces, meat and savoury applications.

The business model is B2B ingredient supply with quote-based pricing to industrial food producers. Swiss Flavours positions itself as a 'solution provider' offering flexibility on production volume, lead time and tailor-made product adjustments, supported by an in-house team of flavourists and a marketing function that develops product ideas. The company serves customers ranging from middle-sized producers to global players, accessed through a direct sales motion with dedicated regional sales contacts covering Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Poland and Uzbekistan, plus a sales office in Poland. In 2015 the company integrated ATS Group to scale internationally, and in 2024 it relocated to a larger facility in Babīte and obtained FSSC 22000 food safety certification to upgrade its food safety guarantee for industrial customers.
