Sensient Technologies reported stronger quarterly results, with revenue up to $435.8 million from $392.3 million a year earlier, driven by higher volumes, favorable foreign exchange and pricing. Gross margin improved to 35.0% from 33.6%, reflecting better pricing and volumes, partly offset by higher raw material costs.
