Bell Flavors & Fragrances

Bell Flavors & Fragrances began in 1912 as the William M. Bell Company, founded in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Its founder, William M. Bell, was a confectionery-focused flavor chemist whose flavors were sold in the early years to local ice cream parlors, grocery stores, and soda pop shops. In 1930 the company opened its first manufacturing facility on West Grand Avenue in Chicago. After William M. Bell and his wife passed away in the early 1950s, the Wm. M. Bell Company was sold to Theonett & Company, a Chicago flavor company owned by Arthur Netter and Frank Robinson. The company today describes itself as having 110+ years of flavor and fragrance expertise and offers flavors, fragrances, ingredients, and botanicals.
