Your flavor partner, from brief to production
For more than 40 years, Synaco has been developing the flavors that give your food products their character. Your project is shaped together with you, the formula is developed in our Liège laboratories, and production takes place in our facility just a few meters away.
Our craft: formulating the flavor that will become your product’s signature
Synaco works upstream of your finished product. Beverage, dairy product, sweet snack, confectionery: we develop the flavor that will carry its identity, from the initial brief to the validated industrial application.
In between come sensory analysis, formulation, testing in your actual matrix and the necessary back-and-forth. You follow every step with a single point of contact who knows your project.
Our clients are growing SMEs and industrial brands that need fast decision-making and flexible volumes. That is what our size makes possible.
Three pillars, one signature
Creation
Our flavorists translate your brief into a formula. Several proposals with technical data sheets, quick iterations. Fast first samples.
Application
Your flavor is tested in your actual product matrix, not in a neutral base. Stability over time, behavior during pasteurization, dosage, interaction with other ingredients. Anything that underperforms shows up before scale-up, not after.
Production
Integrated production facility in Liège, right next to the laboratory and close to major European highways. Small runs and industrial volumes alike, with lot-by-lot traceability.
Key figures
- Since 1983, more than 40 years of flavor formulation

Your challenges, our field
The projects that come to us rarely look like a catalog entry. Here is what we are asked for most often:
Reducing sugar without losing roundness on the palate
Stabilizing a flavor in an acidic, alcoholic or high-fat matrix
Achieving a clean label without compromising the perceived intensity
Creating a distinctive note for a brand launch
Reformulating an existing product
at controlled cost
Designing a range
of natural flavors
Synaco
A certified promise
Our processes are audited against the recognized standards of the international food industry: FSSC22000, Kosher and Halal.
In practical terms, this means three things for you: documented traceability of each batch, from the incoming raw material to the delivered product; verifiable regulatory compliance during your own audits; and access to markets that require specific religious standards.
Your briefs, formulas and product matrices remain your property and are not shared with anyone.
Let's talk about your next product
An idea to formulate, a brief to challenge, an existing product to rework. The first conversation is free and without obligation, and we respond within 48 business hours. If your needs fall outside what we do, we will tell you and point you in the right direction.
