In 1964, Jacob Glueck founded Citromax SACI in Tucumán, Argentina, with the vision of building a fully integrated value chain for the production of premium citrus ingredients. Three years later, he assumed the leadership of Fritzsche SAICA and the U.S.-based flavor company Citroil Enterprises, consolidating a strategy that combined control over raw material sourcing with the development of innovative solutions for the flavor and fragrance industries. In 2000, he acquired both companies, further strengthening that vision.

Since then, Fritzsche is part of the Citromax Group and works in close integration with its sister companies. This business model provides us with direct access to controlled-source raw materials, enabling us to ensure full traceability, consistent quality, and reliability while developing ingredients and solutions backed by a deep understanding of the entire value chain.
