According to a CNBC [![flavor wheel.gif](https://metanousa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/flavor%20wheel.gif?width=87&name=flavor%20wheel.gif)](https://www.metanousa.com/flavor-and-fragrance-industries)retail report, the flavor and fragrance industry amounts to a nearly $25 billion industry sector, with a predicted growth of over 4% through 2017. The ability to provide nuanced culinary tastes to foods or the power to replicate the smell  of any natural or inanimate object can directly increase a product's market penetration and a company's bottom line revenue. It is this product and brand differentiation strategy that ensures the flavor and fragrance industry will maintain continued growth patterns throughout the decades.[![fragrance bottles.jpg](https://metanousa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/fragrance%20bottles.jpg?width=105&name=fragrance%20bottles.jpg)](https://www.metanousa.com/flavor-and-fragrance-industries) The movement and storage of liquid products, such as flavors and fragrances, offer a unique set of supply chain challenges. 'Liquid logistics' techniques are initially employed to move raw materials from source to production, and ultimately from finished product through shipping by multiple transportation channels. The right solutions for liquid transport and storage will seek to accomplish the following: > • standard or customized containers to fit specific applications > > • reducing spills and other safety hazards to employees, public, and the environment > > • securing the product's integrity against contamination > > • containing the product's balance (sloshing) during transportation > > • containers that limit any fire or explosion issues For over twenty years, Metano IBC Services, Inc., has provided the [flavor and fragrance industry](https://www.metanousa.com/flavor-and-fragrance-industries) (F&F) with industrial strength IBCs (intermediate bulk containers) for the storage and transportation of large quantities of liquid raw material and finished product. The [350-gallon stainless steel tote tank](https://metanousa.com/stainless-steel-ibc-tote-tanks) has become the IBC of choice by a majority of the fragrance manufacturers. The company has tailored its business practices to provide a single source, full-service product line to support both inbound and outbound supply chain solutions for F&F suppliers and manufacturers. [**Multiple IBC solutions**](https://www.metanousa.com/ibc-container-products) - include stainless steel, polyethylene, and composite IBCs to solve the handling, storing and shipping issues such as cleanliness, food service use, temperature changes, flammability, and preserving product integrity. The F&F industry has recognized IBC tote tanks as a [![6tote-1.jpg](https://metanousa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Metano_product_images/6tote-1.jpg?width=112&name=6tote-1.jpg)](https://metanousa.com/drum-vs-ibcs-eguide-lp11)[preferred alternative](https://metanousa.com/drum-vs-ibcs-eguide-lp11) of handling over the traditional 55-gallon drum. IBCs eliminate the expensive shrink wrap and pallet warehouse operations and they can be reused for the entire life of the container, while drums have to be properly disposed of after one use.       **Reduced Dead Space and Damage Protection** - Business expenses are reduced by eliminating transportation dead space with available [container sizes](https://www.metanousa.com/stainless-steel-ibc-tote-tanks) from 180 gallons to 550 gallons to fit your space needs. Our metal IBCs are stackable up to four high with a minimum of maintenance and an unlimited service life. We design our polyethylene composite IBCs with reinforced bottom plates to prevent deflection and are outfitted with a warp resistant tubular steel grid jacket for optimum protection. **Business Models to Fit Your Needs** - [Rent or lease/purchase options](https://metanousa.com/ibc-rental-benefits) are available to conserve your business capital and reduce your initial investment.  Metano offers flexible [rental programs for stainless steel IBCs](https://metanousa.com/ibc-rentals) to fit your company's seasonal fluctuations in inventory and production.
