Who We Are
![]()
Established in 1880, Sethness-Greenleaf was founded to meet the flavor needs of the bourgeoning U.S. food and beverage industries. By providing product excellence, responsive customer service and reliable delivery at affordable prices our company quickly became the trusted partner of food and beverage concerns across the country. Our commitment to flavor innovation and creativity, product quality, legendary customer service, reliability and affordability has grown exponentially for well over a century. Today we serve a global clientele by dedicating ourselves to formulate and create perfect natural and natural/artificial flavors every time.
Our time-honored devotion to the beverage industry—given our world-class reputation for flavors, as well as for creating stable, long-lasting beverage emulsions and both citrus and neutral clouding agents—is complemented by our innovative flavor formulations for numerous bakery components and finished goods. We are experts in creating flavors for candies, dairy beverages, dairy desserts, and frozen confections. We are well-regarded for our imaginative flavors for alcoholic beverages, bar mixes, as well as flavors for frozen cocktails. We offer a wide range of liquid flavors in both water and oil soluble forms as well as dry flavors. Kosher certification is available. We specialize in custom designing flavors that achieve your customer’s flavor profile and meet your application requirements.
Our embrace of advanced technology over the years and the amazing tools that have resulted have allowed us to continuously advance the science of our flavor laboratory, the efficiency of our application kitchen, turnaround time of our production facility and the responsiveness and attention to detail by our customer service department and other front office operations.
