Berje Inc

75 Years | 3 Generations | 1 Ambition

Berjé is a privately-owned, fiercely independent leader of the flavor and fragrance industry that has been in operation for more than 75 years. We are the largest repository of essential oils and aromatic chemicals in the US, boasting an unprecedented inventory of over 3,000 unique products. The immense variety of our inventory, paired with our unparalleled supply chain expertise and investment in quality sourcing, ensures long-term supply chain security for the entire flavor and fragrance ingredient palette. All our endeavors are firmly rooted in a commitment to true sustainability, fostering long-term partnerships with local farming communities in more than 100 countries around the world.

The Berjé Group

Berjé is headquartered in Carteret, New Jersey, but our global manufacturing and warehousing capabilities extend to over 80 countries. The Whole Herb Company, our sister company based in California, sustainably sources 150+ whole botanical ingredients and spices, further expanding our repertoire of flavor and fragrance materials. On the opposite side of the globe, Berjé Trakia partners with local growing communities in Bulgaria to produce farm-to-finish rose oil and lavender oil from regional botanicals harvested throughout the historic Rose Valley. 

Citrolim Peru represents the latest addition to the Berjé family of companies – acquired in 2024, Citrolim is a preeminent producer of Peruvian lime products that partners with local citrus growers to process a wide range of lime ingredients including lime oil, lime peel, and lime juice concentrate. 

Berjé also maintains numerous exclusive at-source partnerships with producers in key sourcing locations around the world including Haiti, Brazil, Peru, Paraguay, South Africa, and more. These partnerships allow us to support long-term inventory positions that safeguard against future supply chain disruptions, mitigating the risk for our customers while providing Berjé with peerless agility and versatility amidst global market turbulence. This practice, in conjunction with our multi-geographic sourcing strategy, allows us to maintain alternative sourcing locations for more than 86% of our 3,000+ inventory.

True Sustainability

In an era of widespread consolidation, Berjé is committed to maintaining a clear path forward for ethical, sustainable, and socially responsible growth. Our all-encompassing ESG Program mirrors the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, with six distinct pillars of action to promote new business practices and business continuity, securing a better future for both our industry and our planet.

From our direct investments into the supply chains of our sourcing locations to our rooftop solar network that generates more than 1.6 million kilowatts of clean energy each year, Berjé understands the vital socioeconomic responsibilities of the future and takes a proactive, action-oriented approach to protecting the full ingredient palette for generations to come.
