“DSM History
DSM began as a modest coal mining company in 1902. How did we transform over the years from Dutch coal miners to an international company that connects its unique competences in Life Sciences and Materials Sciences to create solutions that nourish, protect and improve performance?
For more than a century we’ve led innovative thinking, created innovative products, and even reinvented ourselves more than once. When the time was right, we made significant investments and acquisitions and reorganized when needed. Now, we are a global leader in Health, Nutrition and Materials.”
