International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. has received antitrust clearance from all relevant antitrust authorities around the world, and all applicable antitrust and competition laws have been satisfied, clearing the way for its acquisition of Frutarom.

"We are pleased that we’ve received our final antitrust clearance from Russia to proceed with our combination with Frutarom," said IFF chairman and CEO Andreas Fibig. "Building on our strong momentum – having obtained Frutarom shareholder approval and receiving all relevant antitrust clearance – we continue to make significant progress in our integration planning. With great execution from our teams, we are on-track to close the transaction in early October – ahead of our original expectation."
The deal was first announced in May.
