WASHINGTONVILLE, N.Y. (June. 27, 2024) – Aurochemicals, an internationally recognized manufacturer of natural aroma ingredients in the flavor and fragrance industry, has implemented two dozen innovative efficiencies that are enhancing an already sterling record of safety, quality, product assurance and customer experiences.
The efforts, launched over the previous six months, additionally will save millions of dollars a year — helping control costs for customers.
The initiatives span areas from Aurochemicals’ cutting-edge manufacturing/production center to its information-technology infrastructure. They sprung from Aurochemicals CEO Deo Persaud’s mastery of every aspect of the business, his extensive blended background in research, operations, chemistry and executive leadership, and his knowledge of hands-on skills such as engineering modifications and designs.
“Aurochemicals has long prided itself on extreme efficiency, a robust record of innovation and our ability to successfully and continually manage change,” Persaud said. “We prioritize strategic transformation that’s rooted in, and advances, superb quality and value for our customers. That philosophy has been the driving force for breaking new ground and fine-tuning previously implemented improvements to capture even greater successes.”
Persaud deemed dynamic, expansive additions to an Aurochemicals.com Document Center as the top accomplishment. An additional 15,000 informational regulatory documents about its 649 products are now available, providing a 24/7 library that is searchable, downloadable and now includes 21,700 documents overall. This database, Persaud said, has proven to be a vital repository for Aurochemicals’ valued customers who no longer have to directly contact Aurochemicals with requests. The documents outline how Aurochemicals develops and manufactures each product. They include chemical-origin statements, nutritional information, organic-compliance statements, safety data sheets, product specifications and more.
Additional examples of efficiencies include:
- Installation of a drum “massager” to soften and add flexibility to product containers before use, enabling their capacity and handling to be maximized.
- Introducing the use of tablets to track daily inspections in real time on the warehouse floor.
- Installation of a bag conditioner to break up lumps in bulk bags and increase production efficiency.
- Installation of an explosion-proof dust-filtration system to aid safety and quality.
- Creating a centralized “one stop” work station outfitted with a variety of tools, eliminating the need for employees to visit multiple warehouse areas to complete a single task.
- An upgraded air scrubber, enhancing cleanliness and environmental optimization.
- Improved and additional siphon pumps, filter sacks and packaging containers.
- Upgraded software for completing and printing purchasing, shipping, sales and maintenance logs.
- Purchase of a steamer for cleaning drums and equipment.
- New laboratory and cleaning equipment that saves time and streamlines actions.
- In-house pallet repair and maintenance.
Aurochemicals is now working on 300 potential new products and continually audits it operations to identify potential improvements that will serve its customers. The company is recognized as the market leader in its industry:
- In 2022, sales of its top product, Vanillin Natural, achieved a revenue record. Vanillin Natural is a popular ingredient with vast and potential use that embodies the complex flavor notes of vanilla. Its wide scope of usage includes baked goods, ice cream, chocolate, dairy products and candy.
- In May 2023, Aurochemicals announced that it had achieved a rare accomplishment: a perfect Safe Quality Food (SQF) rating from the Safe Quality Food Institute (SQFI). The 100% score followed seven years of achieving a 99% Safe Quality Food (SQF) E-Excellent rating. The SQF Food Safety Code for manufacturing is a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP)-based food-safety plan, benchmarked by the Global Food Safety Initiative and held in high regard by food processors, retailers and food-service providers across the world.
