Our Story

Decades of Caribbean flavour craft.

1950

The beginning

In 1951, the Canadian Flavour Company Stuart Brothers Inc. commissioned and set up a manufacturing subsidiary in Cocorite, Trinidad. The operation was a success from inception and quickly became the leading supplier of flavouring concentrates to local and regional food and beverage manufacturers.

1968

A change

In 1968, Stuart Brothers Worldwide was bought by Givaudan-Roure Inc., the flavour and fragrance division of the pharmaceutical giant Hoffman LaRoche.

1994

A new era

In early 1994, the management team engineered a buyout of the local operations of Givaudan-Roure (WI.) Ltd. and became a 100% locally owned entity, once again trading under our original name Stuart Brothers (WI.) Ltd.

1999

Certified

In October 1999 Stuart Brothers became IS0 9002 certified by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL.) In doing so it became the first flavour house in the Caribbean to receive this internationally recognised quality standard. 

2012

Certified

Then in 2012 the company went further to achieve prestigious GFSI-FSSC 22000 certification and have maintained it. Stuart Brothers has also been HACCP certified for the past 20 years, and recently completed the latest certification exercise for 2019.
