Specialty flavours and fragrances with R&D-led product development
Arethia is a flavour and fragrance producer founded in 2021, operating across Europe and the Middle East with 201–500 employees. The company is actively migrating from a legacy data warehouse to Microsoft Fabric while scaling operations internationally—commercial hires and market-entry projects signal expansion into Africa. Engineering and data teams are comparatively lean relative to the R&D and manufacturing base, indicating a product-centric organization where chemistry and process innovation drive competitive advantage.
