CONTINUING THE LEGACY
CEO Michael Frederick O'Laughlin
What began in 1980, still holds true. Founder and CEO, Michael O'Laughlin sensed an opportunity. A scholar, a lawyer, and a visionary, he predicted that consumers worldwide would seek out new dimensions in scent and flavor sensations. And that the Flavor and Fragrance industry would in turn need to deliver on these expectations. Michael recognized the need for novelty, as well as reliable and cost-effective supply and production solutions. He could foresee that consumers would crave experiences in scent, taste, and texture. Nearly 40 years later, O'Laughlin continues to pride itself on providing aromatic and taste sensations, creatively and reliably. The O'Laughlin mission is resolute: to satisfy its customers and consumers through the latest innovations in chemical synthesis of molecules, botanicals production and sourcing, and supply chain sophistication. Michael O'Laughlin remains actively involved in operations, innovation, sourcing and servicing, with the promise to continuously exceed our customers' expectations.
