DSM and Firmenich to merge
Flavour and fragrance-focused Firmenich complements DSM’s transition away from traditional chemicals
Dutch chemical company Royal DSM will merge with Swiss flavours and fragrance group Firmenich, as DSM looks to complete a 20-year transition away from petrochemicals and materials.
The transformed DSM brings a portfolio of biotechnology, human and animal health and nutrition to the partnership, whereas Firmenich’s strengths are in organic chemistry and process engineering with its fragrance and food & beverage businesses
